Antonio Giovinazzi wants to capitalise on Kimi Raikkonen’s experience at 🎃Alfa Romeo and even plans to model his driving style and approach on his new Formula 1 teammate. 

Giovinazzi graduate꧃d to the renamed Alfa Romeo squad to contest his first full-season in F1 alongside Raikkonen, who returns to the team he started hi🍃s career with after swapping seats with Ferrari’s highly-rated protege Charles Leclerc. 

Last year, Giovinazzi said Raikkonen was the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:perfect teammate to learn from 🌄and the 25-year-old is focused on making the most of the opportunity next to the 2007 world champion and 21-⛄time race winner.

“I thinꦇk we can do a really good job together,” Giovinazzi said. 

“Kimi has a lot more experience than me 𒀰so now I just need to listen to him and give my feedback.

“My target is to wor𝕴k with him, just learn f🐈rom him,” he added.  

“The right thing for the team as well is to go on the same way and maybe [it’s] better for my side to go on Kimi’✨s way, and also driving on Kimi’s way makes it also easier for the team.

“I think🅘 it would be just a mistake to do on a different wa🀅y of him.”

Giovinazzi said getting ready for his first official running in Alfa Romeo’s new car was like “waking up for Christmas” after a two-year wait to return to the grid after making his grand prix debut i✱n 2017 with the team.

The Italian complet𒈔ed 62 laps during his first exten🎃ded run in the C38 car, and finished the day just over a second adrift of the fastest lap managed by pacesetter Leclerc. 

“It was a positive day with a lot of laps, more than 100,” Giovinazzi ex𓆏plained. 

“I’m really happy with the first f♔eeling of the car, like Kimi said yesterday, the car looked quite good but of course we need to do a lot of work still.

“We have a few days more so we need to ꦜwork together and go in the right direction with the car and hope to have a good car in Melbourne.”
