Alonso Retires: What This Means For the Rest of the Grid

And the Rest of the Grid?

Kimi Raikkonen is one of the key pieces in the driver market puzzle for 2019.

What happens next in the driver market is down to the man you see above. Depending on whether Kimi Raikkonen calls it a day or not will shuffle the pack even more than it already is. Sebastian Vettel wants him to stay, but Charles Leclerc's mega rookie season has catapulted the Ferrari youngster into contention for a top seat in F1 at the tender age of 20. There are still unknowns about who will partner Lance Stroll at Force India (or whatever their new name will be) in 2019 and questions still surround Romain Grosjean's job security in the Haas.

In short, buckle up because we're on a bumpy ride for the rest of the year, both on and off the track
