Raikkonen alternatives 'potentially

F1 legend Alain Prost has weighed into Ferrari’s deliberations about the future of Kimi Raikkonen.

Amid rumours linking Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz with the Maranello team, Prost said Ferrari is right to be weighing up the pros and cons.

"The advantages and disadvantages are obvious," the Frenchman, who drove for Ferrari in 1990 and 1991, is quoted by Speed Week as saying in Turin this week.

"There are some drivers on the market who are potentially faster than Kimi, but there is no way to know that for sure.

"On the positive side for Kimi is the good relationship between the (current) Ferrari drivers," Prost added, also referring to Sebastian Vettel.

"I see now a clear number 1 and number 2, not on paper but on the track. I see nothing to criticise Ferrari about — I am sure they will make the correct decision," he said.
