Kimi Raikkonen on Thursday said it is possible he will launch a full time rallying career in the future. "Yes, definitely," the Ferrari driver told reporters at Jyvaskyla ahead of his World Rally Championship debut this weekend in Finland. "I am still in F1 and still have one more year's contract but everything is open. "It all depends on which way F1 is going. Nobody is exactly sure how it will be. I am in no hurry." The 2007 champion said he might contest more rounds of the WRC next year but that would be dependent on his Formula One commitments. I like learning different things so if I have no testing, and the time, then I will do more rallies - I enjoy it and there is no harm in it," said Raikkonen. In the wake of Felipe Massa's Budapest accident, Raikkonen also commented on his new team-mate for the remainder of the 2009 season: Michael Schumacher. "For me it makes no difference who drives the second car," said the Finn. "I don't think it is 100 percent sure that he will drive as he is still checking things out. "But it will be nice to have him as a team-mate. It nearly happened before," Raikkonen said, referring to mid 2006 when Schumacher was still deciding whether or not to retire.
I think he know's what his future holds and as usual F is allowing(forcing) him to bow out gracefully.
Another one of those hitler parodies about the Kimi case. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrq4TDYpRSE&feature=related .
I don't think Kimi cares too much about anything. He just shows up, drives, collects his giant check, then heads back to the nearest pub.
Wonder what he meant by "It all depends on which way F1 is going"? Did he mean the FIA FOTA disagreement, because i was under the impression that that was pretty much sorted. Or did he mean Ferrari and if they want to replace him or not?
Not really. Heard it in English and in Finnish and saw his face both times when he spoke. It was just the facts.
