Raikkonen is persuasive.
Despite a 30th place final and nearly 38 minutes behind the winner Mikko Hirvonen, Kimi Räikkönen has won the praise of his team on Sunday after the Swedish Rally, opening round of the aion kinah in 2010. Guilty of an exit path that could force him to surrender at the first stage, the Finnish driver has corrected the fire during the next two days, enough to have convinced Olivier Quesnel, the boss of Citroen Racing.
On paper, there is obviously no room for complacency. Thirty to 37 minutes and 47 seconds of reference time overall, signed Mikko Hirvonen, the balance sheet of Kimi Raikkonen in Sweden is not up to its status, or the height of his coaching. 
Especially since his teammate Sebastien Ogier, it has shown its advantage at the wheel of the first C4 Citroen Junior Team, finishing the rally in fifth position behind the four favorites of the championship, the 4′15 wins.
Yet, the experiment was successful for the former world champion in F1. Despite a big fright wiped from the sixth stage, while the Finns literally planted his racecar into a wall of ice and abandoned there 26 minutes, Kimi Räikkönen has learned a lot during this first round of the 2010 season. “We have made progress during this test, and noted the interest in the outcome of the race. It was important for the experience to buy kinah this first rally of the WRC season. We lost a little time by typing walls snow but the important thing was to go all the special stages. ”
