Kimi Raikkonen admits that he finds it difficult to understand Nico Rosberg's new role in the paddock. The German retired from F1 racing following his championship victory in 2016 after spending ten years in the series.
Rosberg has regularly been seen in the paddock working with broadcasters RTL and Sky Sports. Raikkonen says that he finds it difficult to understand why Rosberg retired to take on the role of a pundit, stating that he won't find it difficult to walk away.
"No it will not be hard to stop this job," the Ferrari driver said at his book launch in Helsinki. "I will be relieved when all of the things not involving driving will end. The driving is great but nothing else," Raikkonen added.
"When asked if he would be tempted to follow Rosberg's lead in returning as a regular pundit, he answered: "When he explained why (he is stopping) I thought it was cool and I understood. Now he's standing there with a microphone. I cannot understand why given the reasons he gave for wanting to leave."
However, the Finn says that he would be interested in doing some background work: "Yes, I'm interested in doing something like developing a car, but in the background not in public. It will not be standing with a microphone."
