Kimi Raikkonen’s rejoining with Sauber is a standout amongst the most foreseen future of 2019. What’s more, the Finn will recover his first entrance of life at the Swiss group somewhat sooner than anticipated with Team Principal Frederic Vasseur affirming Raikkonen will be in the vehicle at one week from now’s Abu Dhabi Pirelli tire test.
After five progressive seasons with Ferrari – conveying his time with the group to eight years altogether – Raikkonen is clearing the acclaimed red overalls and coming back to the group that gave him his presentation in 2001.
One week from now’s period of two days Pirelli test furnishes groups with a chance to keep running in-coming drivers, with McLaren taking the risk to run Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris.
Sauber have stuck to this same pattern, with Raikkonen getting one day in the vehicle – however Ferrari presently can’t seem to affirm whether Charles Leclerc (moving in the other heading) will get an opportunity to drive the SF71H.
Talking prior in the Abu Dhabi race end of the week, Raikkonen said he was anticipating beginning with his new group, which he joins on a two-year contract.
“It’s more unadulterated dashing and less the other stuff in there. Ideally it will end up being useful for the two of us and that is our point. I believe it’s what we can do, however clearly I may be totally wrong yet we’ll discover.
“I have a positive sentiment about it and I’m eager to go there. Be that as it may, it’s near my home which is clearly a reward.”
Red Bull still can’t seem to affirm whether the approaching Pierre Gasly will drive for them at Yas Marina, yet group supervisor Christian Horner has expressed that active driver Daniel Ricciardo won’t be discharged from his agreement right on time to connect up with his new group Renault.
