If Scuderia Ferrari was restructured in 2014, the replacement of Fernando Alonso by Sebastian Vettel seems to suit Kimi Räikkönen. If the four-time world champion was the only one to beat the Mercedes de Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg this year, the relationship between the two drivers of the team Maranello are participating in the comeback of the Prancing Horse.

“It’s obviously more pleasant for the pilots to talk to each other, to be able to work together and discuss different things.”, commented the 2007 world champion on the Finnish channel MTV. “It’s a great reward for the team and it’s also an advantage to not have any secrets or politics. »

Kimi Räikkönen also feels closer to Sebastian Vettel than Fernando Alonso when it comes to the development of the car. “We pretty much like the same style of car. Our settings are quite close. It makes the work and development of the car easier for the team.”, added Iceman.
