Ferrari announced that former world champion Kimi Raikkonen will leave the team at the end of the season. The Finn who won the driver's championship in 2007 with the Italian team, will be behind the wheel of a Sauber next year, the team with whom his F1 career began in 2001.
The 38-year-old Raikkonen has driven for Ferrari in two spells, from 2007 to 2009 and from 2014 to the current season

Ferrari immediately revealed Raikkonen's successor by announcing Sauber's Charles Leclerc as his replacement. The 20-year-old from Monaco was a development driver for Ferrari in 2017 before making his F1 debut with Sauber this season.
