Chris Dyer: Times with Kimi to get better

”At least I hope we’re friends. We spend very much
time together while working on the track. Our relationship is good
outside work too.”

"I believe I understand Kimi better now than year
ago when we were beginning the season. It’s perfectly normal when
you’re working together all time.”

”Kimi understands clearly how I
works and how the team wants to work. That’s why everything is now
easier, everyone knows the priorities and expectations of how they
should work. That’s what the strength of Ferrari has always been.
Ferrari has understood what is important and has handed out jobs in
accordance with that knowledge.”

The Australian engineer to Kimi wants to end the talks about the Finn being unable to give enough
information about the car to engineers.

”Kimi is talkative enough on
that matter. In the end we of course need some amount of information to
test different things and if we wont get them we keep on asking him
untill we know what we want. There’s no problems with that
subject.”

Dyer says he has learned to read the facial expressions of the guy known as the Iceman and knows
what he is feeling when they try to find the settings.

”It only a
question of how long you’ve worked together. The longer you have, the
more you learn from each other. I’m sure that next year when Kimi
returns back to work we’ve proceeded more and after 2 to 3 years our
realtionship is even stronger.”

”We all in the team are pleased about
the way things have evolved between us, and I suppose it will get even
better when we spend more time together and gain more shared
experiences.”

Dyer speaks on what was a heavily media speculated day some time ago when Kimi and
Schumi had to test together.

”Yeah it was different, but in the end it
wasn’t strange in any way. Of course I was acctustomed to working with
Michael while he was still racing. But Michael has ended his career and
he has done some tests afterwards. I haven’t had anything to do with
them.”

”That test in Barcelona was only one work day among other work
day among others. Of course a racer will always be a racer. It doesn’t
matter who’s in the next car. Their urge to compete is for ever.”

”They both had their own things to do. We we’re doing our own job
with Kimi and we really weren’t so foolish that we would have done any
compromises just to be faster than them. That day both drivers did
their job wonderfully well and we achieved our aims.”

”When rules change, there’s no doubt that some
drivers adapt to the new requirements better than others. The rules
just fit other talents better than others.”

”I’m sure that the new
rules will change the balance between some drivers and teams. Only in
Melbourne – and maybe even later – we will understand how the change
affects. I see now and understand how Kimi drives. In my opinion he
has adapted well and is even more competitive than before.”

”It has been easy to work with Kimi (in this winter), we only had to
familiarize us with the new car. He seems to have less pressure. When
he came to the team a year ago and inherited the car from Michael, the
expectation were terrible and surely the heaviest pressure was laid on
him by himself. I’m sure he felt it even though he didn’t admit it.”
