Ford over Formula One for Raikkonen
Rumours, or perhaps better put, dreams of Kimi Raikkonen returning to F1 have been dealt another blow with reports that he's on the verge of joining Ford.
According to reports in the Finnish press, Raikkonen, who left Formula One at the end of the 2009 season after parting ways with Ferrari, is set to swap from Citroen to Ford for next year's World Rally Championship.
"Funding for the project is coming especially from the United States, and Räikkönen might get an opportunity to also race in a few Nascar events in North America," claims Ilta-Sanomat.
Citroen, though, appear to still be keen on retaining the services of the 2007 F1 World Champ but admit that they are making no progress in their negotiations with Raikkonen.
