MARANELLO, Italy — Kimi Raikkonen is leaving Ferrari for Sauber and will be replaced by rookie Charles Leclerc. Raikkonen, who won the 2007 Formula One title with Ferrari, will be heading back to Sauber from next season while Leclerc will take his seat alongside Sebastian Vettel. The 20-year-old Leclerc is touted as one of the most talented young drivers in F1 and had been widely expected to move to Ferrari if Raikkonen left. Raikkonen will be back with the team where he started his F1 career in 2001. Leclerc, a member of Ferrari's driver academy, won the GP3 title in 2016 and the F2 title in 2017 before joining Sauber in F1 this season.
