F1 driver Kimi Raikkonen has said that the main reason behind is joining Ferrari next year is that he has not been paid by his current team.
According to the BBC, Raikkonen expressed that he had not got his salary and because he liked to race, he was still at the team.
The Finn, who is on a basic salary of eight million euros, is joining Fernando Alonso at Ferrari to form potentially the strongest driver line-up on the grid, the report said.
Lotus has declined to comment while the 33-year-old has not been paid at all so far this season, the report added.
As well as his basic salary, he also earns a bonus of 50,000 euros a point and has therefore earned 14.7m euros, the report further said.
