F1 | Raikkonen ready to stay even after 2017

Kimi Raikkonen he has no intention of hanging up the steering wheel. The Finnish driver said he is convinced that he wants to remain in Formula 1 even after 2017.

At 37, the 2007 world champion is the most experienced driver on the grid, often criticized for his performances and just as often judged not to be up to par with his teammates.

The criticisms against him have always been strong and many have often judged him inferior to those who accompanied him in recent years Ferrari, from Fernando Alonso to Sebastian Vettel.

With his contract expiring at the end of the year, many think that the Maranello team will let him go to focus their attention on the young and promising player Antonio Giovinazzi, but the Finn doesn't seem to want to end his career.

It is SpeedWeek that reports some interesting revelations from the driver: “As long as I like driving and my services are desired, I will stay in Formula 1”.

The season is still long but this declaration of intent will probably open up new scenarios. We'll see which ones.
