Raikkonen ?cannot afford to lose ground?

Kimi Raikkonen says he cannot afford to lose any more ground to his rivals this season if he is going to end the campaign as world champion. The Lotus driver heads to next weekend's Belgian Grand Prix, an event he has won four times, as one of the favourites for a win that would put him right in the title hunt. Raikkonen himself is not ruling out a full-on championship tilt but is equally aware that he cannot afford to lose any further ground to his rivals - especially since he is 48 points adrift of current points leader Fernando Alonso.
