Robert Kubica reckons he could yet pull off a 'Kimi Raikkonen' by coming from behind to win this year's World title.

With two races remaining the Polish driver is 12 points behind Championship leader Lewis Hamilton, having closed the gap by eight points in Sunday's Japanese GP.

His situation is very similar to that of Raikkonen, who last season came back from a 17-point deficit ahead of the final two races to beat Hamilton to the title by one point.

"There's nothing to lose," said Kubica, who like Raikkonen last year finds himself third in the standings with two races remaining.

"Kimi showed last year that anything is possible. It's a good boost - we're still in the fight.

"If you've led the Championship after seven races you should be fighting for the title.

"I have two guys in front of me and at normal pace it's no secret that we are not as fast as (Felipe) Massa and Hamilton, so life is a bit more difficult but it could still happen."

"It would be a very good surprise if Kubica wins!, Kimi was in the same situation last year."

"Kubica is a great driver. See the way he kept Kimi behind him even though Kimi's car was way faster. Not many drivers can do that. The way Lewis and Massa are cracking up, Kubica would be a worthy winner of the title. He is the most consistant. If he had been driving a Mclaren or Ferrari im sure he would be leading. It could happen as Massa and Lewis may be banging into one another a few more times this season."
