Vettel ready to race with Räikkönen

Kimi Räikkönen is once again linked with a move to Red Bull Racing in 2011. Bild am Sonntag understands that an agreement has already been concluded between the Finnish driver and the team of Formula 1. The news would undoubtedly delight Iceman fans, who are waiting for only one thing: for the Finn to return to spice up F1 races with his audacity and speed.

Since Räikkönen's arrival within the Citroën Junior Team (WRC) thanks to Red Bull, rumors have continued to circulate regarding an agreement between the driver and Red Bull Racing. The prospect of seeing the Finn alongside Sebastian Vettel is indeed attractive and the news of a possible agreement is not unfounded.

Christian Horner, team manager of Red Bull Racing, had also recognized that the idea was “ interesting », even if it has never let go of its current drivers. This weekend, Horner recalled his attachment to his drivers, and especially to Mark Webber, who could be sidelined if Kimi Räikkönen arrived at the Milton Keynes team.

« Our subs are very satisfied with our pilots, confided the team manager in Melbourne. Mark drives very well and he?s not that old, like Michael (Schumacher) the watch. » Indeed, at 41 years old, the seven-time World Champion demonstrated that he still knew how to be as fast as during his best years.

As for Sebastian Vettel, a jewel pampered by Red Bull, he would not mind riding alongside the Finn. “ Kimi and I are good friends. But ultimately, I don't care who is driving in the other car since my goal remains to get ahead of them. “, he says to Bild am Sonntag. But the German pilot knows nothing about a possible agreement. “ I don't know what the team has planned. And it will be up to Kimi to choose anyway. »
