Why didn’t Formula-1 work out in the long-term from Kimi Raikkönen?

Hakkinen: I don’t know. I mean he was in a Formula-1 for a quite a few years and he did a great job in my opinion. He is a super talent but I think Kimi probably didn’t feel like he wanted to take part in Formula-1 any more. It is a very strict sport and you really have to follow the rules, and I think he maybe wants to make his own rules, so perhaps he felt like he didn’t want to hang around. He has immense talent and he could have continued in Formula-1 for many years but he wanted to do other things, like rallying and NASCAR. Why not? He is a still young guy – you know, why not go around the world and do things you want to do? Will we see him in Formula-1 again? Probably yes.. that is my opinion.
