Antonio Giovinazzi: “I have to thank Kimi, he always helped me by showing me the right path to follow”. Antonio Giovinazzi interview for Motorsport Italy.

Alfa Romeo Racing Italian driver Antonio Giovinazzi interview for Motorsport Italy:

How important was it in your growth process to have a teammate like Kimi Raikkonen?

Antonio: “At the beginning it wasn’t easy. I came from two years not driving and next to me I found a world champion, with huge experience, a driver who a few months earlier had won a race, let’s say a comparison not exactly easy for a rookie! Kimi didn’t have any problems adapting, and he was immediately able to get the most out of the car at a time, like the start of the season, when the team was competitive. And, of course, in the first part of the season comparing his results with mine did not help me. But at the same time this situation was a great opportunity, because having such an important reference made me grow a lot and I have to thank Kimi because he confirmed himself as a great professional and an excellent person, he always helped me by showing me the right path to follow. I am very happy to be able to continue working with him next season.”
