Kimi Raikkonen raced in his last Grand Prix in Formula One in Abu Dhabi. The Finn was part of the grid for nearly twenty years and even took part in other motor racing series.

The Iceman is considered a legend in the racing community, and many believe that he would try his hand at something else after leaving the F1 grid at the end of the 2021 season. However, that won’t be the case as Raikkonen has opened up about his future.

Kimi Raikkonen would like to enjoy his time off

After spending nearly two decades in the world of motorsports, the Iceman can finally have some time for himself and his family.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Autosport, Raikkonen said, “It could be, very easily – but then on the other hand, it could be that I’m completely wrong.”

“That’s why I haven’t made any plans. I don’t want to make plans, because for the first time in a very long time, my work schedule doesn’t dictate the whole life – in the past my life, and now also the family’s as well. So I’m looking forward to that time. I don’t want to make any massive plans of this and that.”

However, being asked if something could come up in the world of racing, Raikkonen replied, “I’m sure people will have some nice kind of things that will come up. And if there’s something that makes sense, then why not do it? But for sure, I first need to have some time off.”

The Iceman gives his thoughts on his long Formula One career

In his time on the Formula One grid, Ferrari’s 2007 world champion had his ups and downs. He has stated, though, that if it weren’t for his love of the sport, he would not have been doing it for so long.

He said, “I wouldn’t have been doing this job for so long if I didn’t enjoy it. I enjoy racing, driving and solving the problems we face. I didn’t enjoy the rest at all, but that’s part of F1.”

“Obviously, there have been good days and bad days. But so is normal life. You can have a bad day, but the next day is completely different,” Kimi concluded (Translated from Turkish via Google)
