Coulthard tells why Räikkönen left McLaren
Kimi Räikkönen's former McLaren-teammate David Coulthard tells directly the reason why Räikkönen left McLaren after season 2006 to move to Ferrari.
- It's not a secret that Kimi's biggest problem in McLaren during his five seasons in years 2002-2006 was Ron Dennis. Ron wanted to change him the same way he changed Mika, but it never worked. Kimi can't be changed; he is an outsider in the F1-paddock. If McLaren allows it, he appears to the location, drives the car and then goes home. No questions are asked. This time I believe they, crucially, will accept that, Coulthard told in his column in The Telegraph-magazines.
Dennis left all his F1 related duties in the beginning of this season so Räikkönen's return to McLaren next season is possible.
