Incredible isn't it? It boils down to Ferrari, in what can only be described as a brilliant Machiavellian move effectively priced him out of the market, Raikkonen would be paid by Maranello US$10 M. if he races in 2010 but $17 M if he takes the year off or retires!
It is said Mclaren are ready to pony up up to $15M but The Kimster is not going for any discounts and probably just as happy using the extra Ferrari cash to go rallying.... Only in F1!
