Kimi Raikkonen is set to be announced as a Ferrari driver on Sunday, Flavio Briatore has suggested. The Renault team boss has spoken about how he tried to hire the Finn, but couldn't because he had alread signed a pre-contract with Ferrari.
"Kimi chose to sign his pre-contract with Ferrari and good luck to him," Briatore said. "You try to do whatever you think is the best and for me Raikkonen was committed very early with Ferrari and the fact, we believe, next year he is driving for Ferrari with Massa takes away that option."
"We tried for Raikkonen but that was not possible," he added.
