The Finn made waves earlier this week by publishing on social media a pair of humorous memes comparing himself and James Hunt with today’s top star, Lewis Hamilton. Some calculations show that Sochi is Raikkonen’s 326th race weekend, matching Rubens Barrichello’s all-time record. “I’m not going to continue just to stop Alonso from doing more races than me,” Raikkonen laughed. It is a typical sentiment by the popular Finn, who according to rumours had an option to remain at Alfa Romeo in 2021 which expired on September 15. The rumours suggest Raikkonen will now decide his next move in the coming days.
