Ferrari partnership has nothing to do with Raikkonen deal
Fred Vasseur, Sauber team boss says the partnership with Ferrari has nothing to do with Kimi Raikkonen's hiring."No, it has nothing to do with it," said the Frenchman, speaking to Neue Zurcher Zeitung (via F1I)."When Kimi realised that he would not be with Ferrari, he looked to the relationship that he already had with us."There was a phone call and then we met and, like me, Kimi likes to get straight to the point. It was a very, very fast deal. Less than four days," he added.It is believed that Scuderia have last word when it comes to deciding one place in Sauber. However, Vasseur says Raikkonen will join Sauber in his and team’s terms.
