Report: Ferrari keeps Raikkonen for 2019
Aug.22 - Ferrari is poised to announce the identity of Sebastian Vettel's teammate for 2019.
Although Charles Leclerc was favourite prior to the death of president Sergio Marchionne, Corriere della Sera now says Kimi Raikkonen is definitely staying.
The report says the news will be announced either at Spa or next weekend at Monza.
Corriere della Sera claims Ferrari junior Leclerc, 20, will instead move from one Ferrari-powered customer, Sauber, to Haas next year.
He will replace Romain Grosjean, the Italian newspaper added.

Kimi has done a great job this year and I like him to stay with Ferrari for a bit longer and I am sure Seb is happy about it. All I hope that Ferrari finishes this years as numero uno team as well as Seb becoming numero 5 champion. Spa needs to be victory for them and show the Mercs. who is running the show!
No need to show Merzedes who is running the show - they are!
