There has been some confusion among the drivers as there will be some changes in regulations ahead of the 65th F1 season.

However, Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen is not expecting too many complicated changes and insists that it will be normal.

He stated in an video interview posted on Ferrari’s website : “My feeling is that it’s not going to be as different as people think, but I might be wrong,”

“Hopefully we’ll find out that it’s pretty simple. For sure it is difficult for all the technical people to make a new engine, new gearbox, all this stuff, but as a driver it’s not affecting the driving so much I don’t think.

“We have new buttons and new things to follow, but let’s wait and see. It’ll be much easier to say after the first test.”

The former world champion also said that he expects Ferrari to challenge for the championship this year : “It’s the only thing that you try to do – to win the championships,” “Hopefully as a team we can do that. “

“It’s going to be a long and difficult season, especially with the new rules. It’s hard to say who is where and how it’s going to be, but there are a lot of good people in the team, a lot of knowledge. We have to do the best and see where we end up. But there’s every chance that we can do very well.”
