Kimi Raikkonen is now happy with his relationship with his race engineer.
Last year, as the Finn struggled with the 2014 Ferrari, Raikkonen was also at
odds in the garage as he struggled to adapt to working with Italian Antonio
Spagnolo.
Kimi现在和他新任的比赛工程师相处的不错。去年,他除了挣扎于法拉利的F14T,其实也
不太适应与原来意大利籍工程师Antonio Spagnolo的相处。
The 35-year-old had reportedly wanted to take with him to Ferrari his trusted
engineer Mark Slade, with whom he won races at McLaren and again at Lotus.
Slade, however, opted against relocating to Italy.
消息指出Kimi在前年转队前,原本想带着他在Lotus的工程师Mark Slade一起过去 (Kimi在
麦拉伦和Lotus时期都曾与他合作并赢下比赛过),但是Slade却选择不跟着前往法拉利。
Instead, Raikkonen is now working with another Briton, Dave Greenwood, who
left the troubled Marussia team. "Dave is really clever," the 2007 world
champion told Turun Sanomat newspaper, "and does things exactly as they
should be done. It's easier to work with an Englishman," Raikkonen added.
"Yes, Dave reminds me of Mark. They both know what I want."
Kimi现在与另一位英国籍工程师Dave Greenwood一起共事,Greenwood原本在Marussia工作
"Dave相当聪明,他能把事情做得很好。和英国人共事可以让工作更顺利一些。"
"和Dave相处让我想起Mark,他们都了解我要的是什么。"Kimi表示
And Slade, who now works with Pastor Maldonado at Lotus, confirmed that
Raikkonen now seems happier alongside Greenwood. "I don't know Dave
Greenwood," he admitted, "but I think Kimi is happier when he's working with
an English race engineer."
Mark Slade现在在Lotus当马球王的比赛工程师,他也认同Kimi现在比去年开心:"我不
认识Greenwood,但我想Kimi比较喜欢和英国人一起合作。"
"Kimi speaks good English so he likes to get his information in brief,
genuine English. I am sure that the cooperation was not as smooth with
someone for whom English is not his home language. I will always be a Kimi
fan," Slade added, "so of course I'm happy to see Kimi able now to drive a
lot better than he could last year." (GMM)
"Kimi的英文说得非常好,所以他可以把他想说的话用道地而简短的英文表达。我很确定
他和英文不是母语的人合作起来可能不会那么顺利。"
"我是个Kimi粉,所以我很开心能看到Kimi今年开得这么好。"Slade说
