And for good reason, for tax purposes, the Finn has decided to move to settle in this mountainous country that is the Swiss Confederation! It was the former Renault driver’s lawyer who announced it this weekend.
« Kovalainen will move to Coppet to fully benefit from the financial advantages offered by Swiss taxation, » said Dominique Warluzel, Kovalainen’s lawyer, to the Swiss news agency ATS.
Schumacher, Prost, Alonso, Villeneuve, Coulthard, as well as the rally world champion Sébastien Loeb all live in the canton of Vaud.
Hamilton and former driver Jean Alesi live in Geneva, while reigning world champion Kimi Räikkönen and German Nick Heidfeld spend peaceful days in Zurich.
