RAIKKONEN CONSIDERING SKIPPING FINAL TWO RACES: It is no secret that the relationship between Kimi Raikkonen and the Lotus F1 Team is on a knifes edge at the moment. The Finn revealed after arriving late to Abu Dhabi that he is considering to boycott the final two races of the season, over the dwindling financial issues Lotus are facing. Raikkonen revealed when speaking for the first time at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that the radio row is not the only reason for him considering an early finish to the season. It is believed that his unpaid salary is also a major factor. His outstanding wages are thought to be in excess of $15 million. The 2007 world champion told Autosport that For sure. I enjoy racing, I enjoy driving - but a big part of it is business. You have to put the line somewhere, and if it goes over that... it is not really my fault any more. The Ferrari bound Finn also said that he only came to Abu Dhabi hoping that he and the team can find an understanding. There are only two races to go in the season. After Abu Dhabi, the drivers will visit the United States and than wrap things up in Brazil.
