Kimi Raikkonen says he is on track to return to his Formula 1 cockpit at Sochi next weekend. The Finn, who was replaced at both events by Alfa Romeo reserve Robert Kubica, had to sit out the Zandvoort and Monza double-header after testing positive for covid-19. “I spoke with Kimi this week,” team boss Frederic Vasseur said at Monza. Vasseur said the 41-year-old driver and Swiss-based team had to follow the “protocol” of isolating for a full 10 days and then twice testing negative. “I hope that he will be back in Sochi for sure,” said the Frenchman. Formula 1’s official social media account replied: “See you in Sochi.”.
