Kimi Räikkönen admits two options for 2014

Kimi Räikkönen always arouses so much desire for 2014. Cultivating the mystery, the Lotus driver declares that he has not made any decision for the next season. He will do it “the right moment”, he announces to Autosprint. On the other hand, “Iceman” reveals that two choices are available to him to drive next year: " It depends. I would say I have two options. But in F1 We never know exactly?, explains the Finn, without detailing further. The first, obvious one, would be to stay with his current team, which absolutely wants to keep him after an exceptional comeback. The second would be Red Bull. Dietrich Mateschitz, the boss of the Austrian empire, no longer hides his desire for months to recruit the 2007 world champion, probably to succeed Mark Webber, often announced as leaving at the end of this year.

So what will motivate Kimi Räikkönen to make one choice rather than another? His well-being. “I've been in this business long enough to know that the only thing that matters is finding the right conditions for you. » Unpredictable, the current occupant of second place in the Drivers' ranking does not rule out the possibility that he could end his career in the premier category at any time. “If tomorrow I were to realize that I no longer like F1, then I would leave immediately. I know there comes a time in life when you want to do something else, because when you're in Formula 1 you devote almost all the time you have to it, you don't have much for the rest. One day I want to stop traveling and do normal things. For now I still love racing ». Phew!
