Raikkonen drove the new Alfa down the track for the first time

Raikkonen drove the new Alfa down the track for the first time

formula 1
Kimi Raikkonen presented this year's Alfa Romeo car at the Fioran racetrack today. The C39-marked race car was dressed in a black snakeskin this time. The inspiration for such a color image, which will most likely not be used during the season, can be drawn from the team's logo. This one contains a large snake that is a red man. The entire symbol is otherwise exempt from the symbol of the important Italian Visconti family from the 11th century. Another proof, it is only a promotional image, is also the logo on the bonnet, which is in the shape of a heart, as it is Valentine's Day today. The official image is expected to be presented on Monday morning in Barcelona before the first pre-season tests this year. The Swiss team will once again compete in an unchanged racing line-up this year. The race car will know even more

formula 1
Simona De Silvestro drove a Formula One car for the first time in her career at Fiorano. The opportunity was offered to her by the Sauber team, which she joined this year with the goal of being the first woman since 1992 (Giovanna Amati) to compete in the World Championship races next season. The 25-year-old Swiss drove 2012 laps on the track in Fioran with a 112 Sauber race car, but unfortunately the team did not reveal the times. “Even though driving a Formula One car is something special, I wasn’t too nervous,” said Simona, who is still making laps at Fioran today. "I focused more on what I was supposed to do as a racer. But after the installation round, I realized that this was my first lap in a Formula One car and that it was something special. I was most impressed by the amount

After driving in Formula One for Toyota and later for Sauber, Kamui has now become a member of Ferrari’s GT racing team. At Ferrari, he was shown the entire factory as soon as he joined the team, from the development to the construction of the race cars to the test track in Fioran. Well, it was on this track yesterday that Kobayashi was given the opportunity to drive a Ferrari Formula 1 race car on the race track for the first time in his career. After driving a 2010 Ferrari, Kamui was, of course, very pleased: “My first feelings are great. I raced against this car myself and so I know how fast it was. It was important for me to gain some experience, as I last drove a Formula One car last year at a race in Brazil. Now that I’m driving in the WEC Championship with the 458 GT it’s all different, but I quickly got used to it as I
