For months it's been merely an option. Now it looks set to become a reality. Kimi Raikkonen will take a one-year sabbatical from Formula One racing in 2010, to bridge the gap from one competitive car to another - or so he hopes.
Some fear the recent Abu Dhabi Grand Prix may have been the Finn's last race, and that would be a shame - seeing a great character leave the paddock with no further ado. Then again, the 'Iceman' can usually be relied...
