As Kimi Raikkonen prepares to make his track debut for Ferrari, Mario Illien (right), whose former company, Ilmor, provided the engines that powered the Finn's McLaren has warned the Italian team that it will need to provide robust machinery for its new star.

"No one drives the machine harder, no one bangs it so hard lap after lap into the kerb," Illien told Sport Bild. "Ferrari will have to build Kimi a tank if they want to win the title with him."

Funnily enough, we thought Michael was pretty aggressive, and Ferrari enjoyed a certain amount of success with him.
