F1 | Alfa Romeo, Raikkonen: "I've kept myself trained, the sensations in the car will be the same"

In less than a month, Formula 1 will resume where it left off before the forced stop due to the global health emergency, competing in the first race of the season in Austria on the Red Bull Ring circuit.

Many teams, such as Mercedes, Renault and Alpha Tauri, are organizing private tests to also give the drivers the opportunity to become familiar with the car again while waiting for the restart. Not everyone, however, has chosen the same approach, like Red Bull and Max Verstappen, according to which no more than a few laps will be enough to get back into the rhythm. Kimi Raikkonen is also of the same opinion: “I don't think this break will make much difference for us riders. I trained and kept active by playing sports. Staying away from the single-seaters is something we do every winter, in this case it's just a little longer than usual, but the sensations will be the same when we get in the car,” said the Finn.
