Giovinazzi Unconcerned By Raikkonen Gap

Alfa Romeo Racing driver Antonio Giovinazzi isn’t too worried about being out-performed by team-mate Kimi Raikkonen just yet.

Giovinazzi contested two races for Sauber in 2017 but went two years without a full racing programme before joining 2007 world champion Raikkonen at Alfa Romeo for the 2019 campaign.

Former Ferrari star Raikkonen has finished in the points in all three grands prix so far while Giovinazzi has yet to get off the mark, but the Italian isn’t concerned in these early stages of the campaign. “It’s not easy after two years without racing,” he told Crash.net.

“It’s not really easy, especially in qualifying, you lose that push lap a little bit in qualifying. “I think to have Kimi as a team-mate is a good reference.

When I stop in the garage, I can watch his data, and see where I can improve. “I need to just keep working like that, and I think all the things will come together, and there will be a lot more reasons to have a good result.”
