Rubbishing the reports of their driver Kimi Raikkonen replacing Mark Webber at Red Bull, Lotus boss Eric Boullier is confident that the Finn will be staying with the team for the 2014 season.
Raikkonen has been linked with Mark Webber's soon-to-be-vacant seat at Red Bull after the Australian announced that he will be quitting Formula One at the end of the season.
Though Raikkonen's contract with Lotus will end this season, but Boullier feels that Raikkonen will be staying.
"I'm very optimistic," he told the August edition of the JA on F1 podcast.
"There is a lot of discussion in the press, most of it is irrelevant. It is all about making Kimi comfortable enough to stay and happy to stay. Part of it is done. He knows the team and the environment. Now it's about building up the right package. He will then take his decision."
