Toyota Team President John Howett admits that Kimi Raikkonen is unlikely to join the team because the driver is asking for too much money. Having admitted to approaching the Finn with what they believed to be a "serious offer in the current market", Howett seems resigned to missing out on the former World Champion's service unless he drops his wage demands significantly.
"He gave us back a figure that is much too high," the Briton told Swiss publication Motorsport Aktuell.
"He says he has two options, so we are going to wait," he added.
It is believed that Raikkonen is also in talks with McLaren, the team he spent five years with before joining Ferrari, and that the 30-year-old is requesting 25 million Euros to secure his services.
