Raikkonen is delusional to think he has "100 per cent the same chance" as team-mate Vettel to win the Formula 1 title. Raikkonen is probably the better driver of the two, but his highly overrated team-mate is the chosen one at Ferrari. Probably because Ferrari has to somehow justify the exorbitant amount of money they paid Vettel to drive for them. Overrated - AND over paid.

Quit while you’re behind
