I have not idea who is Hakinen. And neither I know any Papappappspapspapadimit...whatever.

Häkkinen is a former F1 champion. Maybe you meant him?

who says "they" are desperate for them?

in the end Raikkonen didn't state he's looking forward to join the WRC, he's just said he'd would like to do some rallying.

And I doubt he would try a "full" career once again, he might do one or two WRC rounds but I really doubt he will pursue a full season in a works team

Speaking of the Formula 1 drivers, I would like to see Alonso in rallying than Raikkonen. I don't know if Alonso will be fast in a rally car, but looking out how he wrestle with this year's unstable Renault, he could be really awsome to watch in a rally car. I mean if you go that side way in a car that isn't meant to go sideway.... :D

2011, subaru's B team: Rossi and Raikkonen.. :D

Has he ever professed a liking for Rallying? I know he likes cycling.

Yep, and that was in a works Subaru Legacy, with Ronan Morgan as a co-driver.

It sure was, and he had very little testing in the car prior to the event.

This is in Finnish, but Wilson is offering a test of Ford WRC to Räikkönen. And also Loeb is welcoming Kimi to the world of WRC... :)

can you translate what Loeb is saying? Interesting really! :)

"It would be good to get a big name into rallying. However it's difficult to switch from circuit driving to rallying, as you need to adapt to pacenotes and driving on gravel, but the one of Kimi talent would certainly find this "driving feeling" with a bit of practice".
