Kimi Raikkonen will shortly step up his foray into the world of professional rallying.
After recently contesting three minor events in Finland and Italy, the 2007 world champion and Ferrari driver has now signed up for Finland's round of the World Rally Championship at the end of July.
The 29-year-old Finn will again be at the wheel of his Tommi Makinen-prepared Fiat Abarth Grande Punto S2000, with Kaj Lindstrom alongside.
"It's always a great rally and for Kimi it's of course an even bigger thing because this is his first time," Lindstrom told the Finnish tabloid Iltalehti.
"It's one of the world's fastest rallies and double the length of for example the Arctic rally," he added.

the hamster slapping continues.
the cars are @#$% just like their road cars over priced and under performing.
Ferrari the poor mans lambo
Seriously? Kimi has ten points of Ferraris 26 points this seaason. 26 points for Ferrari in eight races? What has happened to Ferrari? Have they given up? I hope so. Because if they are really trying they need to reevaluate the talent they currently have. No one ever seems mad. Is everyone there just happy to get a paycheck and don't care about results? Is this what Mosley and Ecclestone have done to Formula 1 teams and drivers? Made everyone forget why they even race. It's a shame to see Ferrari in the state that it is.
I think we can see where Kimi's career is going
