Raikkonen satisfied with Mexico shakedown performance

Citroen Junior Team driver Kimi Raikkonen says that he enjoyed today's Rally Mexico shakedown, after he posted an impressive fifth fastest time.

Despite having to wear a kidney belt to support a back injury, the Finn showed no signs of discomfort as he tackled the 5.13km shakedown stage a number of times.


"Today on the shakedown was the first time we had the C4 on gravel," said Raikkonen. "It was a nice experience, and for sure the rally will be difficult. The stages are quite tricky but nice, so we will see how it goes.


"The set-up on the car is definitely different from Sweden and unfortunately we didn't have a test because I had some problems with my back. But so far today was good, so hopefully when we start the event tomorrow we can be happy and have a good rally."
