Deze ochtend bekendgemaakt in Monza :

"Kimi Raikkonen will replace Mika Hakkinen in the McLaren-Mercedes squad for 2002. The 21-year-old Finnish rookie will line up alongside David Coulthard, who stays with the team for a seventh consecutive season. But McLaren and Hakkinen insist that the double world champion is only taking a sabbatical from Formula 1, not retiring."
...
"Ron Dennis said that ChryslerDaimler board member Jurgen Hubbert had been instrumental in securing the release of rookie Raikkonen from the Sauber team. Interestingly, the prepared statements from Dennis and Mercedes sports boss Norbert Haug both failed to state that Hakkinen's departure was merely a short-term sabbatical."
