Forza Ferrari
Hopefully Ferrari gets WDC and WCC this year, that would be nice end to Kimi`s career.
Maranello, 11th September, 2018 - Scuderia Ferrari announces that, at the end of the 2018 season, Kimi Raikkonen will step down from his current role.
During these years, Kimi’s contribution to the Team, both as a driver and on account of his human qualities, has been fundamental. He played a decisive role in the team’s growth and was, at the same time, always a great team player.
As a World Champion for Scuderia Ferrari, he will always be part of the Team’s history and family. We thank Kimi for all of this and wish him and his family a prosperous future.
CAVALLINO RAMPANTE PER SEMPRE
A sad sad day being an Kimi fan all the way .. hopefully Leclerc does justice to the move ..also Kimis insta feed says he is moving to Saubee on a two year deal ..
Oh well, he will drive for Alfa-Sauber 2019
I thought he would retire
Kimi Raikkonen to step down at the end of 2018. #Kimi7
Always knew this day was coming. But now its out and been made public doesnt seem right. Thankyou for all you have done over the years for the team.
Yes, i have been critical of him in the past. But, no matter what these last few races. Iam not going to say anything bad about him, just enjoy watching him race and be in F1 until the end. Hope we can get WDC WCC leave the sport on a high.
Thankyou Kimi
All best at Sauber.

Good luck Kimi at Sauber.
Let's hope him and Seb blitz the next 7 races and bring the WCC and WDC home.
The only remaining question is, as part of the Sauber deal. Does anything think they asked him to support Seb in the next 7 races or is he free to race? Million dollar question
Lol omg insane, its actually happening, plus kimi in sauber so still ties to ferrari family, Big L to antonio G though thought he would finally get his break next year. Now to announce Leclerc or maybe Kvyat to troll everyone lol

Happy to hear this, Kimi should have never returned to Ferrari.
2yr deal with Sauber mean, there might be a clause where he can come back to ferrari if Charles Leclerc doesn’t deliver expected results. Might be ferrari looking at that way.
Hopefully from next year Ferrari decides to enforce team orders on first laps as well, now its free for all in ferrari, kimi wont be helping seb and would probably want that one last win even more badly than before to show why it was a mistake to lose him. good that he is still in F1 all those fans that signed those petitions can be happy now too

I thought the Sauber part was a joke but

If only they would name the team to Alfa Romeo.
"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."
I can see two things in bringing Leclerc to ferrari:
1) if Leclerc, delivers expected results more than Kimi it will benefit ferrari in long-term & WCC
2) this move is to make vettel alert or discomfort him. Next year not to make any mistakes else Leclerc would outshine him.
No matter what you think about Kimi he's won a WDC and has been a great driver for the team over the years but the time was right for a change and I hope he gets a nice send off and I wish him good luck at Sauber
best possible outcome imo, kimi gets to drive and ferrari gets some fresh blood
