Kimi Raikkonen on Thursday said he has not yet signed a new contract to keep racing in formula one next year.

"For sure I can stay in formula one if I want to, but there is no point in making a stupid contract so I will wait and see what is my best option," said Kimi Raikkonen, linked with a return to his team of 2002-2006, McLaren.

"I will make my decision when I feel like it," he said.

Kimi Raikkonen, who turns 30 on Saturday, is also an avid rallying fan, and was asked by Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport at Interlagos if a switch to the USA is another option. He has refused even to rule out a switch to America's premier NASCAR racing categories in 2010.

"I could race there if I wanted, but I'm not one of the biggest fans of NASCAR," Raikkonen told reporters.
