Kimi Raikkonen believes says he's not worried about his move to Sauber. Many expected the Iceman to retire following his departure from Ferrari, but the 39-year-old restarts his career with a move back to where he started.

The 2007 World Champion claims he is excited to get started and insists he'll be able to do more of what he loves doing while at Sauber. He speaks in an interview on La Gazzetta dello.

"At Sauber, I can focus more on what I love doing. Why should I worry about going to Sauber?. My goal is to try to help them to succeed and to have fun," Raikkonen said.

"When I came back to Formula 1 for Lotus, people said that I had made a mistake and could not do anything, but instead things went differently. It could never happen again," Raikkonen added.

Sauber hasn't won a race, but have improved massively over the course of the season. Outgoing Charles Leclerc has been able to produce consistent points finishes.
