Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen has confirmed that Ferrari will be the last F1 team that he will drive for. The Finn's comments come as he continues to fend off speculation surrounding his future in F1. Since returning to the sport in 2012, Raikkonen has continuously been asked whether or not he is is still motivated to drive in Formula One to which he has always replied that he wouldn't be there if he wasn't motivated.
The Finn who has a contract in place with Ferrari for next season has also said that just because the contract runs until the end of next season does not automatically mean that he will retire from Formula One at the end of next season.
However the Iceman, who has endured an extremely difficult return to Ferrari this season following two successful season's with the Lotus F1 Team which saw him claim two victories and countless podium finishes. Raikkonen came close to finishing on the podium in Monaco this year but following a clash with the Marussia F1 Team's Max Chilton the Finn finished the race in 12th.
He achieved his best result of the season so far this season at the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa Francorchamps where he finished the race in 4th place. He is currently in 10th place in the championship on 41 points with six Grand Prix remaining this season but feels that the Prancing Horse is making steps forward with the F14-T.
Next weekend Formula One heads to the Singapore night race where last season Raikkonen finished the race on the podium in third place, a result he will be hoping to repeat this season.
