According to Yle Sports expert Jukka Mildh, Kimi Räikkönen's return to Formula 1 in Red Bull-team would be a natural choice for Räikkönen. If Räikkönen even returns to F1. German Bild-magazine told earlier on Sunday that Räikkönen would be transferring to Red Bull for next season.Mildh paid a visit to Urheiluruutu [a sports news broadcast] and emphasized that Red Bull would be the only rational team for Räikkönen. And that is only if the Finn even returns to F1.
Mildh highlighted that Red Bull has a competitive car. In addition the team's other driver Mark Webber's contract ends after this season. In the other top teams the contracts continue.
- Red Bull has the fastest car and only a winning car suffices to Räikkönen. Red Bull is like that, Mildh continues.
Red Bull's other driver is German Sebastien Vettel, who has a long-term contract in the team.
Räikkönen drives in WRC with Citroen at the moment but practically the majority of his earnings comes from Red Bull.
- If he has the desire, the negotiations relating to the issue can be arranged in an instant, Mildh says.
At the moment the comeback-rumour is strenghtened by Webber's driving-error on Sunday's Australian GP.
- When the contract is on a pause after this season, Webber didn't do a favor for himself when crashing with Lewis Hamilton, Mildh notes.
Mildh reminds though, that at the moment Räikkönen is serious about rallying. He has no compelling need to return to F1.
- Kimi gets some appropriate distance to the F1-world so he can follow the development of the situation in peace also from his part, Mildh evaluates.
The German Bild-magazine has been right before about the happenings in F1-world. The magazine was the first to report about ia Michael Schumacher's comeback to F1.
