Kovaleinen, 26, revealed: "One thing I wanted to establish before signing was that I'd be treated equally, I will do everything to try to beat Lewis, and I'm sure he will do the same with me. But if he beats me I will just go home, work, and try and come back stronger, I won't cause any problems within the team. If there are any issues we will talk and we will solve any problems more creatively." "I don't know Lewis that well but we have spoken on a number of occasions during 2007 From what I have seen and heard he is a nice guy." "It's not for me to judge what went wrong with Fernando Alonso. All I can say is how I feel about my opportunity, and I am really excited and happy." "The one thing that has struck me so far is just how professional and dedicated the team is, and I know they will work so hard to give me the best opportunity." "Any driver has to enter into a race and a world championship believing he can win it - and of course I do." December 18th, 2007 |
