Where Will Kimi Räikkönen Go After This Year?
Where Will Kimi Räikkönen Go After This Year?-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:40

According to , Ferrari’s likely plan of action is that they’re going to sit on Formula One driver Kimi Räikkönen’s contract over the break, thus allowing their option to renew it for 2016 to expire. Where, then, could Kimi go?

A comment from Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene made to the Swiss newspaper Blick about Räikkönen’s contract being up for renewal set this whole rumor mill in motion.

“In the summer break, you take a summer break,” Arrivabene told Blick about Raikkonen’s option. “You go swimming, climbing, mountain biking — otherwise it is not a break.”

In other words, they’re not looking at anybody’s contracts at the moment. Don’t expect any news on that until after the break. They’re on vacation, man.

While most of you jamokes seem more interested in when Valtteri Bottas might be taking the seat, we’re actually rather concerned for one of our favorite Finns. Where could he be going? Here’s a list of options that we came up with, just in case he’s caught out with nowhere to go.
