Ferrari rubbish Kimi rumours

Wednesday 30th April 2008

Ferrari boss Stefano Domenicali has rubbished suggestions Kimi Raikkonen will quit Formula One at the end of the season if he wins a second successive World Championship.

Raikkonen is on course to emulate his feat of last season as he currently heads the Drivers' standings by nine points from Lewis Hamilton after his Spanish Grand Prix win on Sunday.

Keke Rosberg, the 1982 World Champion and father of Williams driver Nico, had recently hinted Raikkonen might walk away if he won back-to-back Championships.

But speaking to Switzerland's Motorsport Aktuell, a dismissive Domenicali said: "I have heard this rumour and there is not a grain of truth to it.

"Kimi is motivated from head to toe and I know he is not thinking of retiring."
