Tommi Mäkinen believes Kimi Räikkönen won’t turn his back on the World Rally Championship until he has emulated some of the success he achieved in Formula One.
Räikkönen has yet to confirm his plans for 2011 with a return to Grand Prix racing still a possibility for the Finn.
Mäkinen, who advised Räikkönen during the 2007 F1 champion’s transition to rallying, said: “Kimi is the kind of guy who wants to make success and find the best performance from himself. I’m sure he is the guy who is not giving up. That’s why I’m pretty sure he won’t jump out of rally yet.”
The four-time world rally champion added: “It would be nice to see him of course. I haven’t discussed it with him so I don’t know what he is thinking but he seems to be happy.”
Räikkönen said there was “a good chance” he would still be in F1 next season.
