Ferrari to play mind games with Kimi

MANAMA, Bahrain - Ferrari is prepared to play a game of 'carrot and stick' with Kimi Raikkonen to keep the veteran  performing at his best.

Raikkonen is without a contract at the end of 2015 although the Ferrari has an option of keeping him alongside newcomer Sebastian Vettel.

Team principal Maurizio Arrivabene, who took on the job in November 2014, told reporters at the 2015 Bahrain GP that the decision would depend on Raikkonen's performance on track.
