Räikkönen: a return to F1 is possible

Kimi Räikkönen, who decided to relaunch his career in WRC, will he do more than a year in the World Rally Championship? With the Finn progressing in fits and starts, the question of a return to Formula 1 is regularly asked. This is what the Austrian newspaper Kleine Zeitung did, which asked the World Champion if a return to F1 is possible.

« Of course anything is possible “, he commented laconically. But, even if he does not have the same success in WRC as in F1, due to his inexperience, he is satisfied with his season. “ I love this work, the environment there. Everything changes constantly: the weather, the road, the surface. You have to know how to adapt, be flexible, and respond quickly. But I still have a lot to learn and I want to be good at what I do. »

In addition, the Finn recognizes that he would dream of winning the world crown in WRC, after having been F1 World Champion in 2007. But such an ambition will require a lot of time and investment. “ No one can see into the future but, yes, it is a dream. »

Although he knows that he is still very far from the level of the best, Iceman does not lose hope and affirms that his past as a “track rider” is not an obstacle to his progress in Rally. " I have to learn a lot and my past in Formula 1 doesn't hurt me. » Finally, the Finn does not hesitate when it comes to choosing the most attractive discipline. “ The Rally! Because there are new challenges all the time. »
