Alfa Romeo Racing Finnish driver Kimi Raikkonen admitted that is not a fan of the new Monaco layout and instead prefers the track before it changed. The Finn believes that Monaco used to be more about the driver but now whoever has the fastest car will win. The 2007 Formula One world champion will hope that he can perform well around the track that he doesn’t like and continue his impressive run.
“It might be a nice place to watch, but honestly I don’t like Monaco at all,” Kimi Raikkonen said, as reported by GrandPX – “It is no longer the track that I drove when I was here for the first time,” he added – “The swimming pool corner was tighter, the first corner had a barrier, and the rest was changed as well. Before, the driver was able to make a difference here, but not anymore,” he added. “Now, the fast car is always at the top.” – Kimi Raikkonen said, ahead of the race this weekend.
This weekend, the Kimi Raikkonen – who won the prestigious street race in 2005 – is celebrating his 300th grand prix. But the Finn does not want to celebrate: “I don’t want cakes, drinks, nothing. It’s just a number that means nothing to me.” – Kimi told Auto Motor und Sport.
