"There's no doubt we have the fastest package, I'm winning races and I'm feeling well in the team, so why would I even consider changing teams?" said Raikkonen after a report in Germany's Bild newspaper that Raikkonen had signed a pre-contract to race for Ferrari in 2007.
"Surely, I'm in a position most of Formula One drivers want to be in" said Raikkonen.
"I want to win races and world championships with McLaren. Ever since I came into Formula One, there have been speculations about my future, so there is nothing new for me.
"As I've said many times, I'm completely happy with my team."
"McLaren is locked in a battle for the drivers and manufacturers championships and everybody in the team from the drivers to the mechanics is 100 per cent focused on this."
"We anticipate long term relationships with both Kimi and Juan Pablo and consequently, the team is not in negotiations with any other driver, including Michael Schumacher," said McLaren boss Ron Dennis.
