Raikkonen's manager does not rule out a return to Formula 1

Kimi Raikkonen's manager has refused to rule out the possibility that the 1 Formula 2007 world champion could return to the top category. When Ferrari terminated the 30-year-old's contract a year early, Raikkonen signed with Red Bull to race a Citroen full-time in the 2010 World Rally Championship. According to reports, a return to the wheel of Red Bull Racing in 2011 was a possibility, but the Austrian team would appear to be oriented towards renewing Webber's contract for another season.

“Kimi is involved in rallying and seems to enjoy that environment,” said Christian Horner in Turkey last weekend.

But according to Finnish newspaper Turun Sanomat, Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko is still interested in replacing Webber with Raikkonen.

Steve Robertson, the Finn's manager, is still not sure what Raikkonen will do in 2011.

“We have not had any negotiations for next season. There will be a time when Kimi will have to think about what she wants to do." And to those who asked him if Raikkonen's career in F1 is now over, Robertson replied: "Never say never."
