Charles Leclerc replaces Kimi Raikkonen in ‘dream’ move to Ferrari

Hindustan Times  

Young Monaco driver Charles Leclerc will replace Finnish veteran Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari next season with the former world champion returning to Sauber where he started his career, both Formula One teams announced on Tuesday. “Scuderia Ferrari announces that, at the end of the 2018 season, Kimi Raikkonen will step down from his current role,” the team said in a statement. “I’ll be driving for @scuderiaferrari for the 2019 Formula 1 World Championship.” Leclerc has had a promising start to his rookie season, finishing sixth at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, with 16 points from 14 races. Feels extremely good to go back where it all began!” Sauber team principal Frédéric Vasseur said: “Signing Kimi Räikkönen as our driver represents an important pillar of our project, and brings us closer to our target of making significant progress as a team in the near future.
