Lately there has been a lot of noise regarding the F1 driver market Kimi Raikkonen’s future has also been a topic of discussion
Comments from key personnel and the drivers themselves have shown a hint of mystery And with most of the teams not having confirmed their roster of drivers for 2021, that only adds to the intrigue
Haas and Alfa Romeo have been extremely active with their combination options But if the latest news is to be believed, then a seat at Alfa Romeo should be taken
According to a new report from the Blick outlet, Kimi Raikkonen is set to continue with Alfa Romeo for the 2021 season The veteran driver should have communicated his decision before September 15 And now he has apparently confirmed his intention to stay with the Swiss squad
This probably means Antonio Giovinazzi is under even closer scrutiny Rumors spreading around the paddock suggest Mick Schumacher would be a superb choice to replace the Italian rider
And his “baptism of fire” in F1 could come sooner than expected On October 9, the young Ferrari Academy driver could race in the Alfa Romeo car at the Nurburgring
The team could use free practice sessions to test Mick Schumacher’s abilities And it’s a home race for the Schumacher family, it could be the perfect introduction to F1 for Mick
The Finn looked good in pieces during the two free practice sessions in Russia However, the C39 car was discolored about 2 seconds behind field leader Valtteri Bottas But it seems Raikkonen is quietly confident in the fact that he finishes in the points this time
Finishing 9th in the Tuscan GP Raikkonen has collected his first points this season He has mostly finished in the lower half of the grid so far with the car just not up to the task. It will be interesting to see his approach in Sochi as he hopes to build on his momentum from the last race
