Kimi Raikkonen took his last Formula 1 victory on October 21, 2018 at the COTA Texas circuit – the Finn was still driving for Ferrari and won the US Grand Prix. This historic fact was mentioned by Justin Marks, co-owner of the Trackhouse Racing team, whose car the 2007 World Champion will drive this weekend in Austin.
“Experience is important here, and Kimi already knows how these races are going, he has been behind the wheel of our car for some time and of course he doesn’t need to learn this track,” Marx said on the Sirius XM radio station. about Kimi’s preparation for the NASCAR race. – He took his last victory at COTA, he has raced here many times in Formula 1, and with great success, and he loves this track.
Overall, the problem of lack of experience has largely been addressed as Kimi worked with us on tests last year and also spent a race. So it’s all part of the process and I think eventually he will reach the level where he can show good results in NASCAR.
It’s impossible to accomplish this in one weekend simply because there are so many new things to learn, but I’m really happy with how our Project 91 program is progressing, so everything will be fine, especially since Kimi will have some interesting opponents this weekend. including Jenson Button.
