Kimi Raikkonen believes that there is no difference in the pressure whether he's driving for Alfa Romeo or Ferrari. The Finn has raced at both the top and bottom of the gird but is sure that the levels of pressure between the two remain the same.

The 40-year-old made the move to Alfa Romeo from Ferrari for the 2019 season, finishing in 12th in the drivers' standings on 43 points.

I don’t think the pressure was any different,” Raikkonen was quoted by Formula Rapida.

We want to do well and like I said, it’s a shame we’ve kind of fallen down as a team but as a driver, I think everyone puts a lot of pressure on themselves and in the end, the work that we do over the race weekend is not really any different whichever team you’re in.

It’s just that the meetings are very similar between teams, the driving is there and the racing.
