Beat Zehnder he has already seen and experienced a lot. He has been working for Sausr, in a double victory in Le Mans in 1989 he was the first mechanic. Upon entering the Formula 1 in 1993, he was chief mechanic and later chief of team. Before the race for the German Grand Prix in 1994 Peter sauber appointed head of his team.
Zehnder has met more than 30 racers to date. “I got along best with Kimi Raikkonen back in 2001. We are certainly best friends in this circus, where you can hardly trust anyone. It’s a lot of money and because of that, this little world is also not completely open and honest."
This season, the old friends are working on the team again Alfa Romeo and this successfully. The Finn collected 31 points, the team is currently in seventh place. Thanks to Kimi, because his teammate Antonio Giovinazzi he collected only one point. “Antonio is slowly recovering. At the beginning of the season, we let him down. We had some technical issues on his race car. That's why he didn't just drive,”So Zehnder.
It's completely different at Raikkonen. "Kimi race without instructionsHe says enthusiastically Zehnder. "Kimi does everything herself and understands everything. Engineers are talking to each other about whether they should change the engine setting. And right now, Kimi is doing it herself. He knows very well what he has to do."
