Kimi Raikkonen has said that he hopes for hot weather at the Hungarian Grand Prix, as he believes that his Lotus car will perform best in heat.

Raikkonen is currently fourth in the drivers' standings but has yet to win a Grand Prix this season.

"The team has been working hard in developing our car and we are confident we should be competitive in Hungary," Setanta quotes Raikkonen as saying.

"Usually we have a hot weekend at the Hungaroring, and that's what we have been looking forward to during the whole summer."

The Hungarian Grand Prix takes place this weekend.
