Kimi Raikkonen will be expected to work hard this winter at the wheel of Ferrari’s new simulator.<\/p>\n
The Finn is no fan of the technology, but its importance has grown in recent years under the regime of very limited track testing.<\/p>\n
Still, it was only a year ago that Raikkonen, then at Lotus, insisted he “learns nothing” in a simulator.<\/p>\n
But Ferrari has invested heavily in the technology, even if president Luca di Montezemolo would prefer if his red cars could test on a real track.<\/p>\n
“It’s a joke,” he is quoted by Reuters.\u00a0 “We have been forced to invest a huge amount of money in this terrible, artificial, machine instead of being allowed to test here (Fiorano) and at Mugello.<\/p>\n
“Kimi will be extremely busy since the beginning of January to work in this strange machine that I don’t like at all,” Montezemolo added.<\/p>\n
