Ferrari market, Raikkonen close to leaving?

According to what was reported by the BBC today, Kimi Raikkonen will play out his future in Ferrari in the next three rounds of the championship. Maurizio Arrivabene would in fact have given an ultimatum to the 2007 World Champion, thus confirming the latest rumors circulating around the Finn's future in the Circus.

Despite the words of reassurance from Sergio Marchionne, the performances of the former Lotus driver are not meeting the expectations of the day before and the heavy salary of 12 million euros per season is certainly not making life easier for the "Red" management. It remains to be understood when and how both parties will consummate a divorce which now seems inevitable after the friction of the last month and a half, even if, as declared by the President a few days ago, everything can change in a very short time.

Daniel Ricciardo, Esteban Gutierrez (pushed by Carlos Slim. ed.), Valterri Bottas and Nico Hulkenberg are the most popular names for the post-Kimi, even if, after the latest news regarding the Williams Finn (15 million requested by the English team for the "card" of Bottas.ndr), the balance would have shifted towards Hulk and Ricciardo. We will certainly know more in the coming weeks.
