Ferrari Formula One driver Kimi Raikkonen will make his world rally championship debut against drivers such as Sebastien Loeb and Mikko Hirvonen in his native Finland at the end of July.The former Formula One world champion (2007) has already competed in three non-championship rallies this year and will enter the Rally of Finland in a Fiat Abarth Grande Punto with compatriot Kaj Lindstrom who was formerly the co-driver to four-times world champion Tommi Makinen.
The Rally of Finland starts on the Friday after the Hungarian Formula One Grand Prix in Budapest which is on July 26.
Ford's Mikko Hirvonen leads Citroen's five-times world champion Sebastien Loeb by a point going in to the ninth of the season's 12 rallies.
Raikkonen, has competed in two rallies in Finland and one in Italy since the start of the year and has scored 10 points from eight grands prix this year in Formula One.
Does this mean that Alonso will finally get his chance to drive for Ferrari in place of Kimi?, I personally hope not.
