FERRARI RETAINS RAIKKONEN FOR 2018
Raikkonen’s contract was due to run out at the end of the season, and there was speculation the 2007 champion would retire, 17 years after making his F1 debut with Sauber.
But Ferrari confirmed in the build up to the Belgian Grand Prix the 37-year-old has extended his contract for another season.
Raikkonen rejoined Ferrari in 2014, having left the team in 2009. Since then, he has taken 10 podium finishes, including four this season, but hasn’t taken a race win with the Italian team. His last F1 win was with Lotus in 2013.
Team-mate Sebastian Vettel’s contract is also due to finish this season. It’s expected Ferrari will retain the championship leader, but no announcement has been made.
