F1 | Alfa Romeo, Raikkonen slows down on renewal: "I haven't signed anything"

The renewal for next season between Kimi Raikkonen and Alfa Romeo now seems obvious. But the Finn, who spoke in the press conference on Thursday at the Nürburgring and who on Sunday will reach 323 GPs in his career, thus becoming the driver with the most races under his belt in Formula One, underlined in his style that he has not yet put his signature at the bottom on the new contract with the Biscione team.

"I never had an option in my contract – admitted Raikkonen – I didn't sign anything. I didn't sign last week or a month ago, neither yesterday nor today, we'll see. I don't know if I'll be there next year, nothing has been decided yet".

Despite the dialectical clarification by the 2007 world champion, the white smoke now seems one step away and the official announcement could happen as early as tomorrow as reported in the last few hours by Autosport.
