Räikkönen with several options for 2010

Kimi Räikkönen is yet to make a decision over his plans for 2010. The Finn will complete his final Grand Prix weekend for Ferrari in Abu Dhabi and, according to the 30-year-old, then has several options to consider.

"Basically, I have a few different options and we will see what is the best one overall before making my decision," 2007 Champion Räikkönen said. "Rallying is definitely one option but it is not just either Formula One or rallying - there are other things I could do and we will see what happens."

He then reflected on his first comments, however, claiming that a rally drive may be available as a smaller role.

"It's definitely going to be Formula One but it would have to be in a contract that allows me to do rallying," Kimi continued. "It's not going to hurt you; any kind of driving is always going to give you some experience, so I don't see what's the issue - it's been working well this year, so as long as it doesn't disturb what you're doing in Formula One or whatever you do, I don't see that there's any problem."


Latest: McLaren the only option, says Räikkönen
