MTV3 News are screaming on hi revs today: Now they're telling that Kimi Räikkönen is negotiating a full-season factory seat at Citroën with Red Bull offering double the money they're paying Loeb. Oh the marketing value... And if Kimi's F1 career would go on, he'd be driving some WRC rounds with PSWRT. And PSWRT still isn't sure whether it's Citroën or Ford Petter will be driving...
And the prize for the craziest rumour goes to MTV3!Quote:

Raikonen is skipping F1 for 2010, so all options are open for his real passion:rally. So maybe first Monte Carlo in his Punto S2000 and then the WRC with Citroen or Ford
I really hope we will see Kimi A LOT in next years Wrc.
This does a lot PR for the sport. People can agrue that this is not good PR since it's not representing the rally we so dearly wants to see. But since this seem to be inpossible to reach for the moment, this is a great way of getting more people to watch the sport and coverage!
Is it just me or could the 2010 WRC actually have some interesting names to keep an eye on?
Disregarding whether or not the competition is good or not, but with the possible addition of Raikonen and Block (c'mon, you know your gonna like watching him drive) we might be on the way back to the PR days of the late 90's with McRae/Makinen/Burns/Sainz each with huge followings from their respective an bases.
