'Raikkonen will return when Webber quits'


Kimi Raikkonen will reportedly return to Formula One at the end of this season, replacing Mark Webber at Red Bull Racing.

According to Germany's Bild, Webber 'allegedly... wants to withdraw after the 2010 season', leaving a race-seat open at Red Bull.

And the man they are tipping to take Webber's place is Raikkonen.

The Finn quit Formula One in favour of the World Rally Championship after failing to land a drive with McLaren for the 2010 season.

However, Raikkonen has made it clear that his foray into rallying doesn't mean he's done with F1 forever.

In fact, Bild claims he will be back as early as next year, stepping up to take Webber's vacated Red Bull seat.

[Note: I must say, Bild isn't such a reliable source... it's a tabloid like "The Sun", but the idea of Kimi returning to F1 beside Seb Vettel is appealing, at least to me, what do you think?]
