“That's it,” says Raikkönnen on Instagram: “This will be my last F1 season. The decision was not easy for me, but I made it last winter.”
“Even if the season is still running, it will be time for new things afterwards,” writes the 2007 Ferrari world champion.
“I want to thank my family, all my teams and especially the fans who have cheered me on throughout my career.”
