In the event of electrical faults you see the drivers have to literally jump away from their cars. Do races have to be abandoned if there is lightning nearby.

Marchionne had long since decided on a change and the new guy in charge Elikann - formerly deputy CEO - is highly likely to follow through on that decision so Kimi either quits or gets dropped. No other team is going to employ a thirty nine year old driver. It's becoming a teenagers game now.

All drivers have eccentric moments which result in collisions. I think Raikkonen should announce his retirement and exit with a measure of dignity. He has certainly enjoyed a long innings.

He would deliver better results than Raikkonen is currently doing without threatening the dominant leadership position of Vettel. Leclerc should either remain where he is or switch to Haas.
