Ferrari: Kimi must earn 2017 deal
Kimi Raikkonen needs to prove to Ferrari he deserves a shot in the red car next season with a blinding second half of the campaign.
The Finn is out of contract again this summer and his future is far from certain, with the likes of Romain Grosjean, Valtteri Bottas and Daniel Ricciardo linked with his seat.
But president Sergio Marchionne insists Raikkonen still has a future – he just has to show it.
"We are under no illusion with Kimi, his stay at Ferrari depends on the way he races," he said.
"He really needs to show he deserves a Ferrari, otherwise I would think that to leave is his choice.
"If we can't give a positive contribution then it's not worth staying, and Kimi knows that.
"So, either he races like the world champion he is, otherwise...
"But I'm confident he will. Let's support him."
