Two or three options availableMcLaren has up to 'three other options' lined up in case
Kimi Raikkonen leaves the team according to Mercedes Competition Director Norbert Haug who said in Montreal that they was still hopeful of keeping the 26-year-old Finn for 2007.
Raikkonen
is linked with possible moves to Ferrari and Renault, but is more likely to keep the faith at McLaren 'with each good result', according to Haug.
To the sid agency, he continued: ''(Kimi) knows what he has with us, but he will go with whoever gives him the best chance of victory.''
McLaren-Mercedes' 'two or three' options might include choosing to retain
Juan Pablo Montoya, as
Fernando Alonso prepares to join next year. But Haug also alluded to speculation surrounding GP2 sensation Lewis Hamilton, saying: ''We have often encountered good experiences with drivers of the new generation.''
