Unimatrix Xero Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Finland's Heikki Kovalainen has joined McLaren and will race alongside Lewis Hamilton in 2008. The 26-year-old, who scored 30 points in his maiden F1 season with Renault, has signed a "long-term contract". "I think Lewis and Heikki will be a formidable combination," said McLaren chief executive Martin Whitmarsh. "I am confident they'll work well together." Spaniard Pedro de la Rosa, who had been vying with Kovalainen for a race seat, will remain as test driver. McLaren were left looking for a second driver after Fernando Alonso left the team to return to Renault following a turbulent season in which he fell out with boss Ron Dennis and Hamilton.
