Kimi Raikkonen has been tipped to stay in F1 with Ferrari in 2019, by the man who is reportedly trying to lure him away from Formula 1.
Raikkonen has been linked with a return to the World Rally Championship with Toyota next year, but the team's boss says it looks unlikely he will swap.
Raikkonen raced 21 times in WRC after leaving F1, with Toyota - the team where Tommy Makinen is now team boss. Makinen was a guest of Raikkonen's in Monaco, but insists he wasn't there to discuss a potential WRC future.
"I have not talked to Kimi about it," he told Ilta Sanomat newspaper.
"It is rumoured that he could possibly continue with Ferrari. He has been doing excellently this year and the results would have been much better without bad luck.
"I would like to see Kimi continue where he is currently."
