Here is the lenght of Kimi Räikkönen's Ferrari-contract!

Speculations around Kimi Räikkönen and Ferrari have been heated, ever since SuomiF1-website published on August 1st, as the first media in the world, the news that Kimi had already signed a contract with Ferrari.
Lately the majority of experts have leaned in the direction that Kimi will really be seen in the red car in 2014. Now they speculate in the media about the lenght of the contract and when it will be announced.
- The contract is for two years and it has an option for a third year. It's still unclear if they tell about a 2- or 3-year long contract when they announce it. My guess is that Ferrari announces that the contract is for two years, although in reality it is 2+1, a source close to Ferrari told our website.
In F1 an option in a contract can mean many things. Usually either the team binds the driver for an additional year depending on his success, or then a driver agrees to one more additional year if the team can prove their competitiveness during the contract season. The option can on the other hand also be decided by one of the parties.
"The contract won't necessarily be published in Monza"
The logical time to announce Räikkönen's Ferrari-contract would be in Monza. However the ”Iceman” has often proved that the most logical option isnt always the right one. Maybe it's not this time either?
- Räikkönen's previous Ferrari-contract was announced in Monza, but now the contract won't necessarily be published there. I was told that the reason for this are contractual matters, of which I don't yet know more, our source tells us.
- But the contract is already signed. It has nothing to do with that.

Duração do contrato: 2 anos com opção de renovar por mais 1.
E a frase final do texto acima: O contrato já está assinado.
E neste momento, se isto for verdade mesmo, parece até que vejo Sheldon falando a frase abaixo para mim...

Parece exagero, mas não é.
Eu torci pela Ferrari, estive dos dois lados, a favor e contra, sei o que o Kimi passou alí. Eu sei que eles não vão lembrar do talento dele, não pensaram em 2007 quando deram um chute nele, eles não levariam em conta piloto nenhum, nem os 7 títulos do Schumacher, se as coisas começassem a dar errado na época dele lá. Então é por isso que eu não quero o Kimi naquela equipe egoísta de jeito nenhum.
