F1 | Alfa Romeo, Raikkonen: “Anything can happen behind the top teams”
“There is still work to be done to improve the car,” he added
di Peppe MarinoMarch 15, 2019
Kimi Raikkonen was very competitive in the first day of free practice on Alfa Romeo Racing. The Finnish champion finished in sixth place immediately behind Sebastian Vettel, as if he had never left Ferrari when he saw the ranking, a sign that this C38 really seems to have been born under a lucky star. Kimi doesn't make any proclamations, but he is convinced that he can do well starting from qualifying.
“It was a solid day of work, we didn't encounter any major problems – Raikkonen said. There is still some work to do to improve the car, but overall it was a good Friday. Tomorrow we have qualifying, anything can happen behind the top teams."
