Raikkonen does not enjoy the pressures of stardom

Kimi Raikkonen says he does not know what his future holds after the end of his current Ferrari contract, but he is unlikely to drive for any other team.

The Formula One world champion is out of contract next year and has spoken of his discomfort being in the public eye.

"I'll race as long as I enjoy it. It could be in four years' time. It is too early to say. I like racing but the other stuff's not the best," he said.

When asked if he would join another team, he replied: "Probably not".

The 28-year-old Finn was speaking in Montreal ahead of this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix.

Raikkonen's comments come in the wake of intense speculation in F1 that double world champion Fernando Alonso has already agreed a deal with Ferrari.

There is no point in panicking after the race in Monaco because compared to last year the situation is much better Kimi Raikkonen

If it was 2009, Ferrari would have to break the contract of either Raikkonen or his team-mate Felipe Massa, who is tied to the team until the end of 2010.

If Alonso went there in 2010, he could simply slot in as a replacement for Raikkonen.

The Finn arrived in Montreal determined to atone for his disappointing performance in Monaco last time out.

He crashed into Force India's Adrian Sutil towards the end of the race and finished out of the points, something Raikkonen described as a "staggering blow" for which he was eager to make amends.

The incident allowed race winner Lewis Hamilton to leap-frog him to the top of the championship standings, and the Briton can also take heart from the fact he won in Canada last year.

"We can't have another race like that because the fight for the championship is extremely fierce," admitted Raikkonen.

"Monaco has been left behind - it was a staggering blow, but there is nothing we can do about it. I did not at all like finishing ninth, and so out of the points for the first time this season.

"But I said at the beginning of the season that I expect the title to be won at the last moment.

"A third of the season has passed and we have 35 points, lying in second place, which is more or less what I expected.

"Nothing has been won, and nothing lost. There is no point in panicking after the race in Monaco because compared to last year the situation is much better.

"I won't change anything in my approach for the upcoming weekend - the designated target is to win, and we will give our best."

Hamilton, meanwhile, has set his sights on achieving his second consecutive win in Montreal.

And the 23-year-old believes he is in a stronger position now than he was when he took his first crack at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal last June.

He said: "Last year in Canada was one of the biggest accomplishments of my life, to take my maiden pole and victory in F1 was incredible.

"It would be great to go back there and do the same, and that is what we are working hard to achieve.

"Since then I think I've matured a lot, I think I have grown stronger as a driver and have become closer to the team."
