2007 World Champion and current Lotus driver, Kimi Raikkonen, has finally agreed to a contract for next season and will be returning in red for the Ferrari team. The Finn, who raced for Ferrari between 2007 and 2009, will be joining Fernando Alonso next year in the hunt for Championship.
The Finn is delighted to return to the Italian outfit and was quoted saying: ” I am really happy to be returning to Maranello where I previously spent three fantastic and very successful years. I have so many memories of my time at Ferrari, memories which have stayed with me these past years, first and foremost, winning the World Championship title in 2007, which was really unforgettable.”
“I can’t wait to be driving a Prancing Horse car again and to reacquaint myself with so many people with whom I had such close links, as well as working with Fernando, whom I consider a great driver, in order to bring the team the success it deserves.”
Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso also welcomed his new teammate. ” I’d like to welcome my new travelling companion: together, starting next year, we will have to tackle a very demanding technical and racing challenge.” he said.
