"No it will not be hard to stop this job. I will be relieved when all of the things not involving driving will end. The driving is great but nothing else," the Ferrari driver said at the launch in Helsinki.

Raikkonen mum on plans
Now he's standing there with a microphone. I cannot understand why given the reasons he gave for wanting to leave," Raikkonen when asked if he would be tempted to follow Rosberg's lead in returning as a regular pundit.
He is not ruling out staying involved in some capacity, though.
"Yes, I'm interested in doing something like developing a car, but in the background not in public. It will not be standing with a microphone," Raikkonen insisted.
As for his book, the 38-year-old said: "It is what it is. I don't really care if someone likes it or not."
