If you want an honest opinion about the regulation changes, Kimi Raikkonen is your man. He believes the changes have made it easier for Formula 1 cars to follow each other.
After the first two Grands Prix of the season, the signs have been positive. Though the Finn failed to find a way to pass Lando Norris in Bahrain, Raikkonen speaks highly of the aerodynamic regulation changes.
"Yeah, I think it's more close. Exits are still tricky, but you can get more close on the end of the corners and stuff like that. Low-speed corners we seem to still struggle, but maybe the conditions [in Bahrain] had an effect," Raikkonen told Autosport.
"We can get closer. Overtaking is still difficult, but I think it gives us a bit more chance."
