Kimi
Raikkonen has admitted that he may not stay in Formula One beyond
the expiry of his 2010 contract. The 2007 world champion told the BBC
that that the FIA's controversial budget cap plans have given him
new pause to consider his future.
"This
is not F1 anymore. That's why there is a question mark. We'll see
what happens," the Ferrari driver said. It should be noted
that the 29-year-old is essentially towing his team's corporate
line, with Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo openly furious
about Max Mosley's plans.
Raikkonen
also played down speculation that his seat could be filled as
early as next year, with Fernando Alonso believed to have already
committed to the Maranello team.
"I'm
happy where I am now, I have a contract for next year then it's
more or less my decision what I want to do," he insisted.
"I will definitely finish my contract but I'm not in a hurry
and we'll wait and see," Raikkonen added.
On
Saturday, Bernie Ecclestone played down the Ferrari versus FIA row,
denying that Mosley is actively tempting the famous team off the
grid. "He's just a bit disappointed they are taking a silly
attitude," the F1 Chief Executive said.
