Kimi Raikkonen says that McLaren has problems with Mercedes' new V8 engine and there is a lot of work for the car manufacturer to do before the start of the 2006 season. Raikkonen was only twelfth fastest in the team's 2006 car when he returned to the cockpit on Thursday.

"I wasn't expecting anything before I came, and I knew we have issues with certain things, but we're going to get there and there will be some improvement," Raikkonen told Autosport.

"The biggest part of the problem is the engine, but things are happening and in the coming weeks we'll improve it," he added. "They (Mercedes) are not where they should be and need to improve. On the engine side we've got a lot of work to do."
