Raikkonen ready to follow Schumacher’s lead

KIMI RAIKKONEN is adamant he is under no pressure to succeed at Ferrari following their glory years with Michael Schumacher.

Raikkonen replaces the seven-times Formula One world champion at the Italian marque for next season after five years with McLaren.

The Finn would appear to have a considerable void to fill in the wake of Schumacher’s retirement, in particular as the 37-year-old German won five of his world titles with Ferrari.
