Lindström: "F1 is Kimi's world"
To Kaj Lindström the news about the return to F1 did not come as a surprise.
Lindström doesn't want to specify when Kimi told him about his decision. Lindström didn't try to talk the F1-champion out of it.
- It was Kimi's decision, I respect it. Great that he got a good contract, Lindström said to Iltalehti.
According to Lindström Räikkönen would have had a chance to go forward in rally if he had decided to continue in the sport. Lindström has earlier talked about rally as at least a 4-year project if the goal is to succeed. The co-driver doesn't fret though that the cooperation ended.
- We went year at a time, that was clear from the start. You don't instantly jump to the top. There was two great and sweet years. It was nice to work and drive with Kimi, Lindström thanked.
\"Kimi will do fine\"
Although Räikkönen was believed to enjoy himself better in rally's more barren environment than in F1's society, according to Lindström that is not exactly the case.
- F1 is his world. I think he might be more comfortable there.
Lindström learned to know Räikkönen during the two years. That's why he's going to follow next F1-season with a special interest, with \"very different feelings\".
Predictions about success he is not going to give though.
- I had to compare the sports for two years until boredom, although I have never sat in a F1-car, so it's difficult to comment on that. The driver at least is talented, so I'm pretty sure he'll do fine, Lindström laughed.
