F1 | Alfa Romeo, Raikkonen: “Confident for Melbourne”

Kimi Raikkonen is preparing to start his second consecutive season with Alfa Romeo Racing. The Finn, who performed well in the first part of the world championship last year, practically always getting to the point, suffered a drastic decline from the summer break onwards, thanks to a significantly undeveloped car which did not allow the 2007 champion to perform at his best. . The C39 left some doubts among the experts during the tests in Barcelona, ​​but Raikkonen veers towards optimism.

“It doesn't matter if we are at the beginning or the end of the season – Kimi said – each race is worth the same number of points and is an opportunity to do our best. It's always difficult to predict what the performance will be before the debut, even if we did our best during the six days of testing in Barcelona. The whole team worked hard to improve the car even more compared to last year: everyone did their job and I'm confident we can do well in Melbourne."
