James Allison confident for Kimi Räikkönen

Since the start of the season, the Finnish Kimi Räikkönen appears behind his Spanish teammate Fernando Alonso. If Iceman seems more difficult in operating the F14 T compared to the double Iberian world champion, the Technical Director of the Italian team, James Allison, sees a clear improvement as the season progresses.

“It's not entirely fair to say that he struggles more than Fernando, declares the Englishman. The problems that Kimi has with the car when braking, when downshifting, are the same as Fernando, and are encountered by most of the other drivers from the other teams in the field. At the moment, he is a little slower than Fernando, but this gap is reduced as the races progress. »

Scuderia Ferrari should make major changes to its F14 T for the Canadian Grand Prix which will be run this weekend on the Gilles Villeneuve circuit in Montreal. Some even evoke a real B version of the car de Maranello, whose best result this year was a 3rd place in China to Alonso's credit. The first free practice sessions will take place from Friday 16 p.m. French time.
