Arrivabene: “Raikkonen's renewal? It depends on his performance."

Among the names of the drivers whose contract will expire at the end of the season is that of Kimi Raikkonen. In the first four appearances of 2016, the 2007 world champion demonstrated that he is at ease with the SF16-H, also managing to achieve two podiums in Bahrain (2nd) and Russia (3rd). For the Finn, this is the best start to the season since he returned to the Cavallino court.

Where reference Iceman should he continue to obtain good results, the professional relationship that binds him to Ferrari could continue in the future as Maurizio Arrivabene declared: "Kimi is the master of his own destiny – the note from the Cavallino team principal to the Chinese broadcaster LeSports – he's trying very hard. And that's what we expected from him".

“The championship is long – Arrivabene said – we have only played four events and the fifth is in progress. AND too early to tell Kimi fans what the future holds, but I can say that right now I'm very happy with what Kimi is doing".
