Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne has admitted that 2018 is “probably” the last chance for Kimi Raikkonen to show his real potential.

Raikkonen returned to Ferrari in 2014 on the back of two brilliant seasons with Lotus F1, but he has failed to replicate that form at the Scuderia and he was first overshadowed by Fernando Alonso and now Sebastian Vettel.

This season, in particular, has seen him fall well short of Vettel as the German won five races and finished second in the Drivers’ standings while the Finn finished a distant fourth with no race wins.

Age is also no longer on his side as he is 38 and Marchionne says it is now or never for the veteran to hit top form.
