Kimi Raikkonen says his Formula 1 future will not ꦯbe influenced by the proposed regulation sh🌃ake-up for 2021.

F1 is currently negotiating with team officials to set out a new set of regulations pos♊t-2020, with emphasis placed on reducing costs and creating fairer competition between teams𓂃.

But Raikkonen, who signed a two year deal with Alfa Romeo heading into this season, insists the changes will have “zero impact” on wh🌳ether he sticks around beyond the end of 💫2020.

Asked if the rule changes will have any impaꦉct on his decision, Raikkonen replied: “No, no. Because in the end you꧒ see, we make a big rule change, you never know.

“Generally, the big teams are still there, beꦅcau🙈se they have the research to do a lot of different things and figure out the best way to do it.

“Maybe it would 🌸be nice that if everything got much closer, for the sport, not just for the drivers, but for the sport.

“But honestly, it’s very unk♚nown. We can guess, but it has zero impact on driving. In ꦛthe end, who knows.

“Obviously I have a💦 contract for next ye🥃ar, and after that, we’ll see how things go and if I’m interested. If not…”

This weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix will mark Raikkonen’s the 300th race that he has entered, tho💦ugh ꦓthe Finn admitted he asked Alfa to cancel all celebrations because the milestone gives him “absolutely zero pleasure”.

“I’m not here because I can be the most💃 grands prix - it gives me absolutely zero pleasure. It’s purely a number,” he said.

“I’ve already told the te𒁏am a while ago I don’t want… it’s as any other race here, but people try to celebrat🦩e. It’s a number, what’s the difference?

“I trie💦d ♍to force them to cancel everything, but not very good success so far!”
