Will Kimi retire once he's a skeleton?

Post by Psyclepath »

Kimi Räikkönen, a renowned driver and personality in the F1 paddock has had a strong start to his 2019 season. Given his current form, it's hard to imagine him retiring - this is only further backed up by Kimi himself saying he has no intent at present to retire. In addition, Kimi is known as a superb development driver, giving some of the best technical feedback teams can ask for. With this in mind, midfield and back-marker teams may continue to seek him out for some time.

Could "first ever skeleton driver in F1" be added to Kimi's records list? :D

He's not there yet... okay, the oldest after 1980 is Schumacher, you can call me once he goes past that.

How times have changed since ten years ago, huh! The driver who left F1 and, at least from me and everyone I knew, wasn't expected to return, is now the mainstay and reliable old dude who remains consistently good. He doesn't look like retiring soon, and that's no problem for me :) I mean, hey, he's doing better than Gasly.
