A second spell at McLaren for the Iceman?

Kimi Raikkonen's future is another one that is undecided.

While his teammate Sebastian Vettel is receiving the number one driver treatment - Raikkonen looks to be out of favour at the Italian team.

Unless the Fin is happy being the number two man then life is good for the 2007 world champion.

11 years on and Raikkonen is still the last man to win the driver's championship for the pouncing horse while the likes of Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso failed in their attempts.

Raikkonen is still one of the best drivers on the current grid and he proved that by finishing on the podium in the last five races.

The 38-year-old's latest contract will see him leave Ferrari at the end of the season and he will no doubt be on McLaren's shortlist who would be looking to reemploy him.

Raikkonen spent four years at McLaren between 2002 and 2006 winning nine races in those five seasons. But would Raikkonen want to go back to a team that is failing to compete on the track?

Who will team up with Carlos Sainz Jr in 2019? Comment below...
