Räikkönen will follow Ferrari in 2010

Kimi Räikkönen stated that he would feel a certain sadness if he were forced to turn his back on Formula 1 next year. However, he has no doubt about his presence with Ferrari in the FOTA parallel championship.

With Thursday night’s announcement from FOTA expressing their desire to establish another championship in 2010, it means that many big names in Formula 1 will have to leave Formula 1.

Since Silverstone, Räikkönen has confirmed that he will follow Scuderia Ferrari no matter what happens.

« The team is currently present in the race, I have a contract, so I race, » declared the Finn.

« Of course, we all want to be in F1 with good rules, but for the moment they don’t live up to the drivers. There are a lot of things happening, but I race where my team is present. If it’s in F1, then great, but if not, it will be something else. »

« I would like to be in F1. That’s why I came to F1 and that’s why I’m still here. It’s in this category that the greatest races in the world take place, with the best drivers and the best teams. It will be sad to lose all of that. »

Just like Kimi Räikkönen, Fernando Alonso fully supports the position of his team, Renault, which he will not hesitate to follow.
