Default Raikkonen to make WRC debut in Finland
Quote:
The 2007 Formula One world champion Kimi Raikkonen is no stranger to the pressures of Formula One racing, but the Ferrari driver is set to sample a different motorsport challenge next month, after agreeing to make his World Rally Championship debut at July’s Neste Oil Rally Finland.

Although Raikkonen has already contested three 'non-championship' rallies this year, including the arduous Arctic Lapland event in January, the Jyvaskyla race will be his first competitive outing on gravel.

He will drive his own Fiat Abarth Grande Punto S2000 and will be partnered by fellow Finn Kaj Lindstrom, who previously collaborated with four-time WRC champion Tommi Makinen. The three-day rally will get underway on July 30, during Formula One racing’s annual summer break.

Does this mean Raikkonen is quitting F1?

n I thought F1 was the TOP most desire of any race driver.

If he loves rally racing, he should get to it.

Well, Raikonnen is good driver. His performance is not too bad this season, atleast he is ahead of defending F1 champion.

I don't see anywhere mentioned that Kimi is gonna quit F1. All it says is that he is gonna participate in the WRC. Kimi will and must continue in F1 to keep us "entertained".

The thing is there have been a number of speculations about Kimi considering WRC as an alternative to F1 simply cause his contract with Ferrari ends in 2010.
And initially he was a rally driver before he shifted to F1. So it does make sense.
