Raikkonen excited

Kimi Raikkonen reckons Sauber has all it needs to build a “great” Formula 1 car in 2019, after completing his first test on his return to the team. He sampled Sauber’s 2018 car at the post-season Pirelli tyre test that took place in Abu Dhabi last month ahead of his move to the team from Ferrari. Raikkonen, who made his F1 debut with Sauber in 2001, said: “I am excited. It is different obviously as I have been in the team [before] but there are a lot of different people now. they have all the tools – they have a great windtunnel and they have everything to build a great car. We have a Ferrari engine, so we know what we are going to get.”
