Ex-Grand Prix driver Kimi Raikkonen’s performance on the second day of Rally of Turkey today was the best of his short rally career so far, according to co-driver Kaj Lindstrom.
After starting the 145.82-kilometre, eight-stage leg from eighth position, Raikkonen made up two places on what was widely accepted as being the toughest day of the event – which Lindstrom described as Raikkonen’s best run in a rally car yet.
“It’s certainly the best day we’ve had together,” said Lindstrom. “I’m very encouraged by the fact that we were able to keep up this sort of pace on stages that were incredibly tough. I always said that it was going to take a bit of time, but Kimi is really learning.”
