Raikkonen had a mixed rookie season in the WRC as he retired from 3 rallies driving for the Citroen Junior Team, but also won a stage in Germany and finished 5th overall in Turkey. His manager Steve Robertson admitted his driver still has a lot to learn as he told Turun Sanomat.
"With Kimi's limited experience, it may be better to do additional testing while the others are competing."

In a recent interview, Raikkonen told the official WRC website that he had not missed F1 in his first year away from the sport since 2001.
"Of course I thought about it, because you think about everything. But I never really thought seriously about it, because actually I didn't miss Formula One at all this season."
