Kimi Raikkonen is certain he would not still be racing in Formula 1 had he not taken two years out to compete in rallying.
Asked by Autosport if he feels proud to still be in F1 18 years after his debut, Raikkonen said: “It doesn’t feel that long honestly, after two years out.
Kimi Raikkonen: “Somehow maybe that made it not feel as long having a bit more of a normal time [in F1].”
Kimi Raikkonen: “Generally the big teams are still there because they had the resources to try lots of different things and figure out the best way to do it.”
