SPIELBERG, Austria -- Kimi Raikkonen gave a vintage Kimi Raikkonen response to questions about rumours of a switch to McLaren for 2019.
Media reports this week have suggested Raikkonen is the latest big-name driver McLaren has sounded out about a race seat next season. The British team is evaluating its options in case Fernando Alonso decides not to renew his deal and switch to IndyCar, with Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo also approached in recent weeks.
It appears Raikkonen, who drove for McLaren between 2002 and 2006, is another back-up plan. The monosyllabic Finn was in his usual form when asked to address the latest rumours during Thursday's press conference for this weekend's Austrian Grand Prix.
