Yes, I am working on this, and will possibly be talking to Raikkonen in Sweden if Citroen, Red Bull, various minders and assorted PR operatives can get me to him.
I am keen to do this story of course, but in 2010 these matters are considerably more complex than they were in, say, 1980.
One thing is for sure, he will be fast. How often he finishes is the big question…………..Whatever, it’s intriguing.
That Raikkonen’s face no longer fits in F1 is a real shame. He is a wonderful driver to watch when he’s having a good day. No, he’s not chatty, and he doesn’t do PR too well. But he’s a Finn.

Raikkonen’s a finn, and it’s in their blood. He won’t be Loeb, but in the tradition of Allen, Makkinen, Toivonen and all the other ‘nens, he won’t suck

Ed, any chance you or Rob does a story in an upcoming issue on Kimi’s move to WRC?

Kevin we will get WRC on HDNET channel… the only probelm is it will take 2 weeks to get it after each race which stinks

Ed, thanks for keeping us up with Rally and what Kimi is up to…. even if he is not as fast as the top guys he will help the sport grow no doubt

Having Ken Block in the WRC is fantastic! He will represent the States and Ford on a global stage with great professionalism.

I’m looking forward to seeing him run in the “Rally America” round in Missouri later this month. GOOD LUCK here and in the WRC!

Very good news for Ken Block! This might help WRC to get the U.S. back to covering it again! Here in the U.S.A. , if you are a Stage Rally fan, you get very little coverage. I hope our TV package draws the Motorsport media back to rallying.

Raikkonen is mad. He is going to get murdered.

Fantastic, I can’t wait for the new season to get underway, except I won’t be able to see any of it on TV as I don’t have the right satellite channel. Please, please can we have Rally coverage on BBC or ITV. A slot like Ski Sunday showing highlights would be fine.
