Giovinazzi and Raikkonen have been teammates for the past three years, Giovinazzi shares how happy he was to have him as a teammate and how he is a very different person away from the camera.
“In 2019 when I knew my teammate would be Kimi, I was really happy because he was the best teammate for me, he was a driver with a lot of experience,” said Giovinazzi.
“We have a really good relationship together, I can tell you Kimi is very funny outside of the camera. Inside the track when the camera is not there, he’s really funny and we enjoy him,” he continued
“A plus for the team is to have two drivers with good relationships, that improves the car and the team, is the best way.”
