Raikkonen not worried about slower cars in 2021
Kimi Raikkonen is not worried about Formula 1 being slower in 2021.
Some have expressed fears that the 3-4 seconds per lap drop to accommodate cars that are easier to overtake with is a step backwards for the sport.
But 40-year-old Raikkonen told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "It doesn't matter if in 2021 the cars are a second or three seconds slower.
"If there is a good show, nobody will notice."
As the oldest and most experienced driver on the grid, Finn Raikkonen says he hasn't decided if he will race beyond his 2020 Alfa Romeo contract.
"Formula 1 is now more of a hobby for me and I like that," he said.
Raikkonen says he also enjoys living close to Alfa Romeo's Swiss factory.
"Living close to the team is important but I always do my best on the track," he insisted.

My racing history began in the late '60s and, for several reasons, during that half century RAI is one of my top 5 fav F1 drivers. One of those reasons...I don't remember him EVER expressing worry about anything. 40 yrs. old and he just enjoyed being the defending winner of the USGP.
