After two years of absence, the return F1 of Kimi Räikkönen with Lotus F1 Teams sparks mixed opinions. If Gerhard Berger recently issued a negative review on the 2007 world champion, Damon Hill for his part thinks that the former pilot of the WRC still has the skills to return to the top of F1.

“It’s fantastic news, I wish him good luck”, comments the 1996 world champion on Autosport. “He needs to show that he has retained his skills, he has a good team to prove it and he is still young (32). He has already won the World Championship once and I was making my F1 debut at his age. He clearly still has a few titles left in him. »
