James Allen put a spin to the rumour mill by saying in his blog that according to his sources Räikkönen would have been negotiating for weeks with Williams. According to him the contract would be close already.
Riku Kuvaja crushes the claim to Iltalehti.
- That's how they write. I have nothing to comment on the whole subject but I can say that we are not negotioating with anyone over anything, Kuvaja said.
A year ago Räikkönen's name came up in connection with Renault. Now Kimi is again a hot name in rumours concerning a mid-level team.
Did this remind you of last autumn?
- You know yourself that there is no genre with more rumours as there is in this, Kuvaja said.
Everything still open
According to Kuvaja all options are still open. Räikkönen might drive F1, Nascar, Rally or Le Mans next year. He also doesn't have any time schedule for making a decision for next year.
Kuvaja says that Räikkönen hasn't bothered his head over the rumour mill.
- At the moment he is concentrating on Rally France. Now it's important for him to concentrate on racing.
Räikkönen arrives to France tonight. Tomorrow recce starts and the actual race starts on Thursday.
- The season has gone better than last year. Now we have even perfomances. But it's a hard and demanding genre, Kuvaja tells about Kimi's feelings.
- We have no special goals for the rest of the season. We go race by race and finishing it is always a goal, Kuvaja ends.
