The Finn world champion Kimi Raikkonen is set to return to Formula 1 after spending a season in world rallying. OK, it’s not official yet but rumors are quite strong regarding this, and Kimi will probably be the one to drive alongside Robert Kubica in 2011. If that’s the case, he will replace the Russian Petrov who is rubbish to be honest but has fat sponsors. Renault says that Raikkonen himslef contacted them and showed interest.
Kimi is a very talented driver, but he doesn’t really care about anything and he also had some problems with alcohol! We like to see him back on track so let’s hope he’s still as sharp as he used to be when he swapped the F1 seat for one in WRC. Then it would make sense for Renault to disregard Petrov’s money and invest in Kimi’s talent.
