Zandvoort, September 2

The Iceman is finally retiring, bringing the curtain down on one of the most unique careers in Formula One history. But not for a few months yet. Kimi Raikkonen will retire at the end of the season, concluding a career that spanned two decades and included the 2007 World Championship.

Raikkonen is in the final year of his contract with Alfa Romeo. The Finn announced his departure on Instagram ahead of this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort. “This is it. This will be my last season in Formula 1,” Raikkonen wrote on Instagram. “This is a decision I did during last winter. It was not an easy decision but after this season it is time for new things.” — AP

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
