The Finn drivers for the new Lotus team this season and it means a lot to him. "I saw McLaren supporting new teams, great to hear my friends there are behind us!" he said on Tuesday. "As a group we have to be supportive in getting new teams off the ground," said McLaren's managing director Jonathan Neale. He feels that it's critical for the sport to get the new teams stable as quickly as possible. Several drivers have raised concerns about the speed of the teams and some labelled it as dangerous. "I respect greatly what the drivers are saying and one or two have raised concerns about it, but I think that's a matter for the FIA," he said. Kovalainen is in Bahrain and will look at the track layout after breakfast this morning. "Great to get back to some sunshine, +25C 9am in Bahrain! Gonna rush to the track after breakfast to check out the new circuit layout," he said. |
