Between the lines at the Monaco Grand Prix

Motor Racing - Formula One World Championship - Monaco Grand Prix - Wednesday - Monte Carlo, Monaco

Kimi Räikkönen

The Question: Kimi, I’m sure you’re probably aware that your fellow Finn behind you [Valtteri Bottas] has been linked with your seat for next year, should you or Ferrari opt not to exercise the extension in your contract. Would Valtteri be a good fit for Ferrari, knowing him as you do and knowing Ferrari as you do and if so, why?

What Kimi said: 

Who knows? Even though we are both Finns, we don’t know each other so well. You will have to ask Ferrari what they’re going to do but very certain what will happen and obviously it seems to be every year or every team I am in, it seems I’m being kicked out or a new contract or whatever. I’m not worried about it at all so time will tell, for sure.

What he might have meant to say: 

I don't care. I don’t even know who Valtteri Bottas is. He’s behind me? OK, he looks pretty much the same size as me so maybe he would fit OK. Can I go now?
