Kimi doesn't feel pressure replacing Schumi

11 January 2007

Kimi Raikkonen says he doesn't feel any pressure stepping into Ferrari as Michael Schumacher's replacement. The Finn picks up where Ferrari's most successful driver ever left off.

"I don't feel any pressure because when I went to McLaren it was a similar situation and it was early in my career," Raikkonen said. "Of course, coming here, people are always comparing to the previous driver who was Michael, the main guy in Formula One for many years."

"It's normal that people are expecting and comparing me but I don't feel it," he added. "I just do my own thing and work on my own way. I think it's going to take a while to get used to how the team works and also how I work so I don't really feel pressure for that."
