This is how Williams' boss replied to the hot rumours about Kimi


IS Urheilu reached Williams F1-team's second biggest owner Christian Wolff, who agreed to comment a little on the rumours concerning Kimi Räikkönen.

Wolff isn't completely shooting down the possibility that Räikkönen would next season drive with Williams' F1-car.

- Formula 1 and Williams is one of very many options for Kimi. He is intelligent and experienced enough to make the right decision, Wolff told IS.

They have been wondering in F1-circles, why Räikkönen recently visited Williams' factory in UK and was going through different departments.

- I think that Kimi was exploring here all options in addition to rally and race-tracking, Wolff said.

Räikkönen knows that Williams is not able to offer him a winning car in F1. Yet Williams is not just a F1-team. It has gone into for example hybrid-technology and is planning a wide co-operation with Jaguar on the sportcar-department. Something from that direction could also interest Räikkönen.

- We would want to become Jaguar's racing and sporting department, the CEO Adam Parr from Williams recently told in Autocar-paper.
