Ferrari have yet to take a decision on whether to retain Kimi Raikkonen for 2019, the Italian Formula One team’s new chief executive Louis Camilleri said on Friday.

“When we take that decision, and there is no timeframe, you will be the second to know,” Camilleri told reporters at Ferrari’s home Italian Grand Prix, a race where the team have often made announcements in the past.

“I know Kimi very well. He’s a dear friend, has been for a long time,” added Camilleri, who was appointed in July just days before the death of his predecessor Sergio Marchionne and was holding his first paddock news conference.

“It’s a team decision,” said Camilleri. “As Maurizio (Arrivabene) is our team principal, ultimately he’ll take the decision.”
