Räikkönen expects similar driving in F1

Even if he doesn't really enjoy the exercise, Kimi Räikkönen trained on the new simulator of the Team in order to prepare for the winter tests which will begin in Jerez on January 28, three days after the presentation of the new Ferrari. If several of his opponents have underlined the different character of the F1 with the new regulations, the 2007 world champion is less concerned.

“My feeling is that there won’t be as much difference as people might think.”, recognizes Kimi Räikkönen. “I hope we will eventually see that we will adapt easily to it. It's already difficult for the technical staff to create a new engine, a new gearbox... but it shouldn't affect the driving too much. We'll obviously have new buttons and new things to follow, but it might be easy to adapt to them. »

Kimi Räikkönen also returned to the double points system put in place for the last Grand Prix of the season in Abu Dhabi (November 23). Iceman does not seem to want to take a position on the subject. “It’s the same for everyone. It can help or disadvantage someone and those who benefit will be in favor of it., adds the Scuderia driver. “For me, it doesn’t change anything. It's the rule and whether we like it or not, it's not going to change anything. »
