Formula one: Raikkonen gives thumbs-up to E20
“Everything from testing says that the E20 has good traction so that will help us [in Melbourne],” said Raikkonen.
MELBOURNE:
Former champion Kimi Raikkonen revealed that he expected the Lotus E20 to be well-suited to the characteristics of the Albert Park track in the season-opening Australian Grand Prix on March 18. Raikkonen dismissed the idea that Lotus would be at a disadvantage after missing out on a week of testing due to a problem with the car’s suspension mounting. “Everything from testing says that the E20 has good traction so that will help us [in Melbourne],” said Raikkonen. “Strong turn-in and stable braking help too and those areas also feel good with the car, so we are well-placed.”
