Finnish racing ace Kimi Raikkonen is reportedly in two minds over whether to stay on with his Formula One side Lotus or join Red Bull as a successor to Australian Mark Webber at the end of this year.

Raikkonen was put on the spot following Webber's announcement that he is leaving Formula One for Le Mans racing and join Porsche's sports car racing team, the Courier Mail reports.

However, Raikkonen, whose contract with Lotus expires at the end of this year, said that it is not the first time for him that he is facing choosing between different options on the table, adding that he will take the option which he thinks would be right at the moment.

The 33-year-old Finn arrived at Silverstone on the eve of opening free practice for this weekend's British Grand Prix to be confronted by a barrage of media questions, the report added.
