i dont think it is a good move to drive for midfield team..... stop racing when you are doing good, no need to go to sauber and be mediocre before you retire..... and i think Kimi knows this
If Ferrari really do intend to back Sauber heavily, I think it is a good idea. They would move up quite a bit with full Ferrari backing and a top driver. However, I am not sure about a driver having any management position in a team as it has not worked the last couple of times.
Even if they back sauber, there is no way that they will be fighting for wins and poles in 2019. Absolutely no sense for Kimi to lower his stocks in a mid field team. Why do you think he has been driving for Ferrari all these years even when he knows he is no2?
Same reason why Rubens stuck around, same reason Weber stuck around.
It is always better to be in a top team and pick up the odd win and poles or perish like Alonso
Unlike most other drivers, I don't think Kimi gives a rats for how he is perceived, he does what he wants.
He likes driving, so why stop? No I am not a 'iceman' fan who thinks he can do no wrong, in fact not a particular fan of his at all, but he does not care
I see him as one of those who does what he wants, not what he thinks he should be seen to be doing. If he gives up in F1, the odds are he will go to rally or snowmobile racing, so he just as well get paid and make a second career out of the team.
As sierra says, he may know more than we do what the future holds for Sauber.

When arguing with a fool, be sure the other person is not doing the same thing.
