Old team mate thinks Räikkönen will be this year's super surpriser

Pedro de la Rosa was Kimi Räikkönen's last team mate in McLaren. The 41-year old Spaniard is the trustée, from whom Räikkönen asked in autumn for first hand information especially about Pirelli tyres after deciding to return to F1.

In Australia de la Rosa had good time to follow how Räikkönen did, because his own team Hispania's both new cars exceeded the 107% rule and were out of the race.

– It was a fantastic race performance from Kimi. You could see that he still lacks the qualification-routine, but it's obvious since so many new things have come to qualification during two years.

de la Rosa wasn't even astonished over Kimi's readiness to redeem his place among the top drivers with his driving skills.

– Kimi is a phenomenal talent and definitely one of the best drivers I have ever seen. Kimi and his team looked really competitive this weekend. My estimation, without any compliments, is that Kimi together with his team will become the biggest surpriser of this season, the Spaniard said.

The body survived well the beating

Räikkönen headed to Malaysia already on Sunday-evening. The driver was without any bruises and his neck was limber when Mark Arnall massaged him in the hotel, normally safety belts leave a mark after driving on Albert Park's track and the opening race is very trying on the neck muscles.

– It's a good thing that the first race is now behind. We will only try to improve our performance in Malaysia. You never know how the car works in different places, but this car has so far been good everywhere so I guess it goes fast in Malaysia also, Räikkönen charged.

É só o que eu espero Pedro, uma boa temporada de retorno. Espero mesmo que a Lotus consiga manter o ritmo até o final, que tenham em especial, dinheiro para atualizar o carro e não estagnarem no desenvolvimento durante o ano.

Se isto acontecer, tenho certeza que o retorno de Kimi será sim, o acontecimento da temporada 2012. :)

Beijinhos, Ludy
