Four-time F1 world champion and ex-Ferrari driver Alain Prost believes that Ferrari retaining Kimi Raikkonen will keep stability in the team, the opposite may have a negative impact.
Raikkonen’s future at Maranello is an ongoing subject of media speculation, while a number of drivers – Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz to name a couple – are knocking at the door.
Prost told media at the FIA Sport Conference in Turin, “Everybody can see the positive points and the negative points. There are one or two drivers on the market who could be quite good for Ferrari, maybe a little bit quicker, but you do not know.”
“One thing you also have to take into consideration is the pressure at Ferrari. Sometimes you can see some very good drivers in an average team and, when they go to a top team, they do not perform the same because it is a little bit different.”
“The positive sign for him [Raikkonen] to stay is that he has a very good relation with Vettel and you have a number one and number two, not on paper, but in fact.”
“For the ambience it is not bad. To be honest, I don’t blame them [Ferrari] and I don’t criticise. I am sure they are going to make the right decision,” added Prost.
