Kimi offered WRC test

Ford's rally boss Malcolm Wilson has offered Ferrari's F1 star Kimi Raikkonen a go in a WRC car.

Speaking to Motorsport News, Wilson said: "I'd offer him a test. It'd be a great opportunity for us. "We can do it because we've got the forest [stages] on our doorstep." Ford's rally HQ is in Cumbria.

Kimi is suffering a disappointing F1 season, prompting speculation that he will retire at the end of the year. He has also stated recently that he would be interested in rallying when he quits F1.

Kimi? In a WRC car? We'd pay to see that...

Malcolm Wilson's unhealthy obsession (fetish?) for all people Finnish continues. I bet he wishes his son was Finnish and beats him daily while yelling just that... "Why're you always down and out of hte points?! Maybe if you're mother wasn't such a whore and was Finnish instead you wouldn't be such an embarassment for me!"

I suppose it could be a possibility in the future he has said before that he gets bored of the bravado of F1 and WRC is much less covered so could suit him better.

One would think it would be a boost for the WRC (certainly Ford), but I dunno. But then I always respect any driver that tries something completely different.
