With Carlos Sainz Jr. staying with Toro Rosso for the 2017 Formula One season, Kimi Raikkonen is likely to breathe a sigh of relief as he prepares for the impending Austrian Grand Prix.

With Sainz viewed as a potential team-mate for Sebastian Vettel, the 2007 world champion has seen off one of the main threats to his seat at Ferrari.

But with Daniel Ricciardo, Sergio Perez and Romain Grosjean all fluttering their eyelashes in the direction of the Prancing Horse, there are still a number of hurdles to clear before Raikkonen can celebrate another stay of execution.

And Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne, who has been prone to putting unnecessary pressure on his employees in 2016, has challenged the Finn to prove he deserves a new contract and another chance alongside Vettel in 2017.

Like his former Ferrari team-mate, Felipe Massa is also facing an uncertain future, with Williams openly flirting with other drivers in the paddock.

The Brazilian previously expressed his confidence that he would remain with the British outfit for 2017, but he has since suggested he could be set for a switch to a rival team.

Though Raikkonen and Massa are on the wrong side of 30, both drivers will surely be eager to postpone their retirements to get their hands on the new-generation F1 cars when the major regulation changes are implemented at the beginning of next season.

The new rules have attracted much criticism, but McLaren-Honda's Eric Boullier has insisted they will make drivers and spectators fall in love with F1 all over again.

Closing our latest roundup is Renault's Jolyon Palmer, who has explained why the team radio restrictions are positive for the sport despite the recent European GP controversy.
