Räikkönen's future in F1 still undecided

Kimi Räikkönen fans might see the Finn in Formula 1 next season but there is also the possibility they will see him quit the sport if a top team doesn't come with a good offer. Raikkonen revealed he has yet to make a decision on his future in Formula 1.

"Maybe I will race, maybe not," Räikkönen was quoted by The Guardian. "My only aim, if I am going to race next year, is to have a car that can win the championship. Otherwise there is no point."

Paddock rumours link Räikkönen with his former team McLaren as current McLaren driver Heikki Kovalainen will see his contract come to an end at the end of this season. Räikkönen said about his former team McLaren: "I don't have any bad things to say about them. We always had a good relationship. It's a chance, but so far I have not thought much about these things."

Maybe a switch to rally racing could be an option for the Finn. "There is a chance, but there is a chance to do Formula One. I don't know what will happen. I will decide at some point - before the start of next year," he said.
