“Kimi started the team in 2011 and asked me to be the Team Manager. It was so soon after my racing career, I almost still had the strap marks on my chin from my hard hat! Since then, we have carefully gathered a great team around us who work as an effective unit and can try to win the world championship,” he continued.

Kimi gives us excellent strategic advice and his knowledge of world motorsport at the highest level helps us to always focus on the big picture in terms of team approach. Our twin goals are success on and off the track – race and championship success at the GPs and to be seen as one of the most professional and well-presented teams in the paddock,” explained Pyrhönen.
