F1: Kimi Raikkonen to reunite with McLaren engineer
Kimi and Mark Slade
Kimi Raikkonen will have a familiar race engineer for his return to formula one this year.
Finnish reports in Turun Sanomat and the broadcaster MTV3 claim the 2007 world champion will work with Mark Slade.
Mark Slade, recently at Mercedes GP working alongside Michael Schumacher, was Finn Raikkonen's race engineer at McLaren years ago.
Turun Sanomat said they will start to work together at Barcelona at the last test before Melbourne.
"I wanted him and I am pleased that it worked out," Kimi Raikkonen confirmed.
On his end, Eric Boullier has slammed rumours Kimi Raikkonen is a shareholder in the Lotus team.
It was reported that the 2007 world champion's retainer this year was subsidised by owner Genii granting the returning F1 driver a small slice of the Enstone based team.
"He has no shareholding. It is complete nonsense. Raikkonen has a two-year contract as driver, Genii Capital holds 100 per cent of the team," Eric Boullier is quoted by Finnish broadcaster MTV3.

Bacana que Kimi conseguiu trazer para a Lotus o seu engenheiro de McLaren. Definitivamente alguém que conhece Räikkönen como poucos.
