Raikkonen to retire after 2009

BudVlad · 07-14-2009, 02:13 PM

The Finnish media are reporting that Kimi Räikkönen will be retiring from Formula One at the end this season in order to make way for Fernando Alonso at the Italian team. Paddock rumours have linked the 2007 World Champion with Brawn, although new suggestions point towards a career in rallying.

My guess is the latter. I knew this would be happening! With Massa surprisingly leading the Scuderia instead of Kimi last season (and currently) and the new addition of the Alonso thing, Kimi seems to be without a role to play in Maranello.

When Kimi's car let go during last week's race the first thing I thought was "ICE CREAM TIME!"
