Kimi Räikkönen not yet with Williams
For several months, rumors about Kimi Räikkönen returning to Williams as early as next season have been circulating and being commented on. Adam Parr, chairman of the British team, provides an update.
The 2008 world champion, Kimi Räikkönen, slammed the door on Formula 1 after a disappointing 2009 season driving a sluggish Ferrari.
After trying his luck in the World Rally Championship and NASCAR, the Finnish driver seems eager to reignite his career by returning to his first love, Formula 1.
The Williams team, in search of a new momentum, would welcome the arrival of Räikkönen to their team. Besides the fact that this alliance would bring visibility and attractive sponsorship for the men from Grove, Adam Parr, president of Williams, believes that the Finn would energize the team. He is also full of praise for him: I think everyone knows that Kimi is one of the most talented drivers who has been in Formula 1 in recent years. Moreover, everyone sees that he is very eager to return, and I think having a world champion in your team would energize things.
However, he does not wish to confirm yet whether discussions are underway and refuses to comment on the composition of the driver lineup for the 2012 season: « We are thinking about what we will do next year, but no decision has been made, and I’m really sorry, but I can’t say more than that now. »
