At the end of last year, he was ousted from the Team Ferrari who wanted at all costs to enlist Fernando Alonso. A rally fan, Kimi Räikkönen decided to go and have fun in the world championship WRC.
Race after race, progress is felt. And even if many announce his return to Formula1 next year at Red Bull Racing instead of Mark Webber, the 2007 world champion might well want to stay where he is this season.

“I haven’t made any decisions yet, declares “iceman” to the Finnish newspaper Turun Sanomat. There is no emergency. We have to evaluate the different possibilities and see which is the most interesting for me, what I like the most and what I want to do the most. If the Formula 1 could jump back 20 years, it could be similar to the rally current. The Rally is very professional, but is a little more relaxed. »

Tenth in the world championship after scoring points in the last two events, Kimi Räikkönen could continue his career as a rally driver, a discipline which better suits his motorsport philosophy.
