The question remains if Kimi Raikkonen will still be racing in Formula 1 next year or if Alfa Romeo will replace him at the end of the season. The driver himself does not really care.

When asked if he would like to see Mick Schumacher in his car, the Finn responded the following: "If I decide to stop, I really don't care who drives the car. That's no longer my problem."

In his interview with F1-Insider.com He says the following about his future: "To be honest, I don't know yet. But last year around this time it was the same. We will see. In any case, I'm not interested in extending my record. All records are broken at some point. That's why I don't care about it."

Raikkonen doesn't feel old in the car

Raikkonen is now in his nineteenth season in Formula One. He is not experiencing his best season, scoring just two points for Alfa Romeo so far.

The driver is asked if he feels old now that he is driving against the sons of Jos Verstappen and Michael Schumacher. "No, not at all. I sometimes feel old when I wake up in the morning, but not in the race car on the track."
