Antonio Giovinazzi praises his teammate at Alfa Romeo. The Italian driver believes that Kimi Raikkonen is still one of the best drivers on the grid.
Difficult 2020
Alfa Romeo have had a difficult year in which points have been rarely scored. So far the team stands on a total of eight points, four per driver. Both Giovinazzi and Raikkonen have not yet managed to finish higher than ninth place in 2020.
According to Giovinazzi, his teammate cannot show everything he has to offer. "Kimi is still one of the best drivers on the field. If you want to beat him, everything has to be in order," said the Italian in conversation with SpeedWeek.com.
Measuring tool
"Not only is Kimi super fast, but he also has an enormous amount of experience. Raikkonen is the perfect measure for me, because I know I have to do a strong job to put him behind me," says Giovinazzi. The 26-year-old driver says it's not only satisfying to beat Raikkonen, but it's also good for his career.
