“I didn’t expect to compete anymore, but [tallipomo] Justin Marks came to me in Switzerland and convinced me how serious he is about creating a top class stable. This is going to be fun, but I am still very serious about this. I know how fierce the competition is in the Nascar Cup, and this will be a tough challenge, ”Räikkönen said.
“I think he’s doing really, really well. This is not just a public relations stunt, ”assured the team boss Marks.
