Räikkönen defies flight ban – takes a private plane to Switzerland

Kimi Räikkönen, who raced in the Rally of Turkey during the weekend, is planning to return to his Swiss home with a private plane possibly already today.

Räikkönen, who snatched fifth position in the race, is planning to fly from Istanbul to Switzerland tomorrow at the latest. Räikkönen plans to use smaller airports where the flight ban is not in effect.

At this point the Swiss airspace is closed until Monday 3 pm Finnish time.

The plans for the trip home are not as simple for the other drivers. Mikko Hirvonen, who took third place in the rally, is going to first take the Ford factory team bus to Middle Europe, then buy a used Ford and drive home to Finland.
