Mattiacci: I have no problem with Räikkönen

[vcs316]

27 May 2014 – Ferrari Team Principal Marco Mattiacci has said he likes Kimi Räikkönen 'very much' and that he is a 'super-cool guy'.

Räikkönen is not exactly the most chatty driver in the Formula 1 paddock, but since stepping in after Stefano Domenicali resigned, Mattiacci added that he has been impressed with the 2007 F1 World Champion and has 'no problem' with him.

"I have worked before in Finland for several months and I know quite well Finnish people," Mattiacci told reporters in Monaco, according to ESPNF1.com. "Kimi is someone that is Finnish but grew up internationally because of Formula 1's travel. He is a super-cool guy and I like him very much.

"He always has open and very frank discussions and he is professional. He is a great person to work with."

"We are all different so sometimes we need to tune the level of communication and the way we talk to people in order to be in the same frequency. I don't find any issue in dealing with Kimi, it's the opposite and I have no problem."

Very diplomatic indeed. Sounds like were in good hands at Ferrari.

Diplomatic? You mean like Stefano? Oh dear.

What a headline. Like he should have some problems with Räikkönen.

Another great example of misleading Formula 1 journalism. Someone needs to put an end to this crap as well as "Silly Season" which seems to be year round now-a-days

When the circus ends, F1 will be over

I say keep it coming, it keeps me coming back (and from getting bored)
