Kimi Raikkonen says he is still as quick as he was when he was winning races two years ago, but the sport has changed around him.
Raikkonen last won a race at the 2013 Australian Grand Prix with Lotus, but since returning to Ferrari last year has struggled for results. However, the 35-year-old does not think getting older has had a positive or negative effect on his driving.
"Has it changed me a lot? I don't think it has changed my driving at all. With age you get some experience, but does it count much in F1? I don't know. I don't feel that I have changed as a driver and how I do my stuff.
"Hopefully life goes on and things keep changing, but I don't see any difference in how I'm driving now and five years ago. Things have changed in the sport itself more than in me."
Raikkonen does not think experience in F1 counts for as much as it used to or helps as much as it does in other racing disciplines like rallying, which the Finn competed in during his two years away from F1.
"When I came into F1 it probably made more difference than these days. It has changed a lot because there is not as much testing, but there are a lot more things you can use to get yourself prepared.
"The easiest way to compare is if I compare this to rallying, because the experience in F1 doesn't really make much difference but in a rally it's the biggest thing that will help you and make you faster and finish the rally. If I just go by those things, experience in F1 counts for nothing compared to that."
