Raikkonen plans retirement after Ferrari

The Emperor · 10-17-2006, 02:52 AM

Short-term plans for Formula One?

Kimi Raikkonen says he does not intend to still be racing F1 cars a decade from now.

The Finn, who on Tuesday will turn twenty seven, switches at the end of the season from McLaren Mercedes to his new three-year contract with the Maranello based Ferrari team.

But although he is to race in the retiring seven time world champion's place, Raikkonen told Auto Motor Und Sport: "I do not think I will drive as long as Schumacher did."

He added: "Ferrari will probably be my last team.
"

Current champion Fernando Alonso has also expressed a similar view regarding his stint in Formula One.

well, as a ferrari/schumacher fan, i like him a lot and i want to see him for 10 years at ferrari, as far as he can get us some championships!

BTW, 37 is a great age for a F1 pilot to retire!
