Kimi Raikkonen to Ferrari in 2014

Kimi Raikkonen will return to Scuderia Ferrari, starting in 2014. Felipe Massa announced a few weeks ago that he will not be driving for the team next year. Which currently leaves the Brazilian without a seat in F1 for next season.

Rumours are now going around about Lotus's driver line-up for 2014 and the biggest name being talked about at the moment is: Nico Hulkenberg. Currently driving for Sauber, Nico has definetly proved himself ready for a bigger seat. But nothing has been confirmed yet.

Both Raikkonen and Alonso seem to be alright with the idea of being team mates and so far there has been no drama. I believe Ferrari will be even stronger next year with Kimi's return.

Where oh where will Raikkonen go?

Well, he might not go anywhere, actually! Earlier in the season when Mark Webber announced he was going to be retiring from Formula 1 racing at the end of the season, it opened up a seat at Infiniti-Red Bull Racing. Speculations began with naming off Lotus driver, Kimi Raikkonen, as Mark's replacement. Most people were a bit taken-aback that Kimi would leave Lotus, afterall... He's been getting good results with them. But maybe it's time for a change? Possible, but not to Red Bull.

Earlier today his (Kimi's) Manager, Steve Robertson announced that Kimi isn't in the running for Mark Webber's spot, but that the Fin' does have other options outside of Lotus-Renault. And yes! He did say "Options" - Which leaves the question: Which other teams are offering Raikkonen a seat with their team? Ferrari? Mercedes maybe? Or could we even see a return to McLaren? Anything is absolutely possible.. But it's more than likely he'll stay with his current team: Lotus.
