Kimi Raikkonen has absolutely no thoughts of retiring at the end of the 2009 Formula 1 season - that is the view of Ferrari team 🦩principal Stefano Domenicali.

There have been suggestions the Finn is planning to hang up his helmet once his current contract with the Scuderia expires, with countryman and 𒁏1982 world champion Keke Rosberg hinting last weekend that he could imagine Raikkone💙n calling it quits at the end of 2009 - when he will only just have turned 30.

As a result of𝓀 his victory in Barcelona - which he described as the most perfect of his entire career - the defending title-winner has moved nine points clear of chief rival Lewis Hamilton in the 2008 drivers' standings.

Should he wrap up a second consecutive crown, there are even rumours Raikkonen may try to break his contract with Maranello and walk away at the end of the current campaign. He has frequently re-iterated that he is undecided abo♋ut what his plans will be beyond 200ꦐ9.

Speaking to Swiss publication Motorsport Aktuell, however, Dom🦄enicali rubbished 💫such claims as 'nonsense'.

"I have heard this rumour and 🐼there is not a gaiꦅn of truth to it," the Italian insisted. "Kimi is motivated from head to toe and I know he is not thinking of retiring."
