Kimi Räikkönen is pleased now that he got Mark Slade as his own race engineer to Lotus.

Räikkönen and Slade already worked together in McLaren. Now Slade will switch from Mercedes to Lotus starting from the last testing session before the opening race.

- I wanted him. Of course many things have to succeed in order for that to happen. Fortunately he came. I have a good engineer right now also, but Mark because I know him and he knows what I want, Räikkönen told MTV3.

- He has worked here before so I'm sure it's easier to start with him in a new team when he already has information about the team, Kimi justified.

Pois é, o bacana é que Mark tem o conhecimento de trabalhar com Kimi (de 2002 a 2006) e também da Renault, onde esteve em 2010. Vai ser realmente muito útil a contratação do engenheiro inglês.
