New Ferrari ‘will suit’ Raikkonen

Ferrari technical director James Allison has given hope to Kimi Raikkonen, by suggesting that the new car will suit his driving style.

Raikkonen struggled badly in 2014, as he had little confidence in both the brakes and corner, but his team-mate, Fernando Alonso, coped much better with the problems.

However, Allison has said that things will be more positive for the Finn this season at the 2015 official launch.

“We will only know for sure once we are running on the track, but I hope that the SF-15T will be much more comfortable for him with both a stronger front end in mid corner and more support from the rear under braking," he said.

Raikkonen is joined this season by four-time champion Sebastian Vettel, and it is imperative that the 35-year-old isn't beaten in the same manner as he was last year by Alonso.

Ferrari are targeting two wins this season.
