Keke: Kimi has coped surprisingly well in rally

MTV3's F1-expert, Keke Rosberg, who has driven rally also himself, has been following with interest Kimi Räikkönen's first season in WRC.

- Of course I have been following it with huge interest, and actually I've been positively surprised how well Kimi has gotten "into" the sport. It is after all a totally different genre in that level where Kimi is driving now compared to the level we drove back in the days. Kimi is now along with the big boys, and has getting on surprisingly well, Keke says in MTV3's interview.

Keke thinks that Kimi's difference in speed compared to the top drivers in WRC is like it was expected.

- There days in rally you have to have experience which means that you have to know the roads. The other thing is the note reading and driving from it, which of course comes with time. You can't do anything else but go through two or three years and learn. Not until after that you can see if there is enough interest for such a lont-term project, Rosberg says.
