Ferrari have been put in a dilemma regarding their 2019 line-up in the wake of former chairman Sergio Marchionne's death it has been reported.

While his replacement Louis Camilleri has suggested the Scuderia now wants to retain Kimi Raikkonen for another year, Auto Motor und Sport has claimed Marchionne had already signed a deal with Charles Leclerc before passing away in July.

Though it would seem simple enough just to tell the current Sauber driver to wait for another year, Ferrari are concerned that going back on the contract could cause a problem with his manager Nicolas Todt, son of FIA president Jean.

The uncertainty is somewhat proven by the team not confirming their line-up this weekend at the Italian Grand Prix in front of their adoring Tifosi and asked about Raikkonen's future, Camilleri remained coy.

"We have not taken a decision yet," he said in his first press conference in his new role as CEO at Monza on Friday. "When we take that decision, and there is no timeframe, you will be the second to know.

"I know Kimi very well, he is a dear friend and has been for a long time," he added. "As for the decision-making process, it is a team decision.

"Maurizio [Arrivabene], who is team principal, will ultimately take the decision but he and I will discuss it, and once we are ready we will take it."

Raikkonen did his chances of staying on for another year plenty of good by claiming his first pole position of the season in qualifying on Saturday and speaking earlier in the weekend, insisted he still feels more than capable of performing.

"I don’t feel like I drive any differently than 10 years ago," he said. "I think I drive pretty well in my own books at least. That’s enough for me. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think I could drive as well as I feel I should.

"That’s my tool to measure and decide when it’s enough. Who knows? Maybe I’ll wake up one morning and I don’t know how to go fast anymore."
