Kimi Raikkonen confident Alfa ‘can now fight in the midfield once again’. Kimi's view ahead of the next race .

Kimi Raikkonen, Antonio Giovinazzi and Fred Vasseur comment on the next round of the 2019 Formula One season, the Brazilian Grand Prix:

Frédéric Vasseur, Team Principal Alfa Romeo Racing and CEO Sauber Motorsport AG:
“Everyone in the team is working relentlessly to push us forward and back into the points. The last few races have shown progress, but we know we still have some work ahead of us to get back to the front of the midfield. We can build on the positives and on our strenghts in the confidence we can make another step forward in Brazil.”

Kimi Räikkönen (car number 7):
“This weekend’s race is another chance for us to score points. There have been a lot of positives in our most recent performances and we feel we can now fight in the midfield once again: it would be nice to have some points to show for our progress at the end of the weekend.”

Antonio Giovinazzi (car number 99):
“I am really looking forward to racing in Interlagos. It is a special track, one forever linked with Senna and with so much Formula One history. The renewal of my contract is a big confidence boost and I cannot wait to repay the faith the team has shown in me. We have made some big steps forward in the last few races and getting back into the points would be the right reward for all of our hard work.”
