Tuesday after returning to work following his title-winning season.
<p>
The Ferrari driver, who won his first title at the Brazilian Grand
Prix over a month ago, returned to action to work on the electronic
systems to be used in 2008.
</p>
<p>
The Finn admitted he was happy to return to work and said it was important to start testing with next year&#39;s settings.<br />

&quot;If I had to drive the same Ferrari I had in Brazil, then I would probably have stayed on vacation,&quot; Raikkonen told <em>Gazzetta dello Sport</em>. &quot;With with all the new electronics, you have to be here. I can&#39;t deny I&#39;m happy to be back behind the wheel.&quot;
</p>
<p>
He added: &quot;Now it&#39;s easy to lose control of the car, especially when you accelerate at turn exit.
</p>
<p>
&quot;That&#39;s how it was when I had my debut with Sauber in 2000, but then
the 10-cylinder engine helped you a lot because you could play more
with the gears and power would come gradually, while with the V8
everything is more brutal.
</p>
<p>
&quot;In the end, however, driving with these new electronics is enjoyable.&quot;
</p>
<p>
Raikkonen added he is already focussing on clinching a second title.
</p>
<p>
&quot;Finally no one will ask me anymore when I&#39;ll become champion. Now I will concentrate on a second title.&quot;
