Raikkonen 'fully committed' to Ferrari

Kimi Raikkonen insists he's committed to Ferrari for next year's Championship despite the team's president recently casting doubt over his future.

According to rumours, the clock is running down on Raikkonen's time at Ferrari as Fernando Alonso is expected to replace the Finn at the end of this season.

The speculation gathered momentum recently when Ferrari President Luca di Montezomolo refused to confirm Raikkonen for 2010, although he did say Felipe Massa's seat was secure.

"We will have a Brazilian driver because he deserves another chance given that, thank God, he is fine," said di Montezemolo.

"Otherwise, we are mulling the best choice but we still have time. We will decide in a few weeks."

Raikkonen, however, is refusing to get riled up over di Montezemolo's comments, stating not for the first, and most definitely not for the last time, that he has a contract in place for next year's Championship.

"I always can only repeat that I have a contract - and that has not changed," he told the official F1 website.

"If they want to talk with me, we need to sit down to talk. I am fully committed, as otherwise I would not have signed the contract in the first place."
