Ahead of the upcoming Formula One season, Kimi Raikkonen has said he is not dwelling on the disappointments of 2008.
Having taken the title in 2007, the Finn endured a largely difficult season last year, with Ferrari team-mate Felipe Massa ultimately proving better able to mount a World Championship challenge
"You always learn from your mistakes, but I'm not particularly interested in understanding last year: we can't change the way things went, and it doesn't help us to do things better now.
"I'm happy to talk about what we can do this year."
Raikkonen also denied that a need to prove the doubters wrong was fuelling his desire to succeed this season.
"No, I only try to give my best," he said. "Everyone knows what we can do and our objective is to win the Championship.
"I have no idea how the other teams are working," he said. "So far the lap times have all been very close, but during testing you use different tyres, you try things that will turn out to be good or bad only later.
"But I'm neither interested nor worried about the others. Let's think about ourselves."
