During testing in Valencia, one name was on the verge of everyone's lips: Kimi Räikkönen.
The Finnish world champion, who will be a season in the WRC on behalf of Red Bull at the wheel of a Citroën C4, could return to Formula 1, despite his recent statements. Indeed, it seems that Mercedes GP has signed a preliminary agreement with Kimi Räikkönen.
The shadow of Steve Robertson in the paddock in Valencia, had no other effect than to confirm this idea. The contract between Michael Schumacher and Mercedes GP expires in 2012 if all goes well. But the German automaker is preparing an alternative, the arrival of another world champion in the event of failure of German.
Last year, discussions between Mercedes-Robertson and Räikkönen were brief and did not find an immediate result. But an alternative was found.
