Rally Championship global promoter Simon Long said he would be
"extremely interested" in talking to Kimi Raikkonen
about the Finn's future beyond F1, according to Autosport magazine.
Raikkonen
competed on his first asphalt rally last weekend, but crashed
out of the event with a broken TCA on SS3, after suffering
centre differential problems with the Punto from the start of the
rally.
Kimi states
that he is interested in contesting more rallies this
season, with another two outings pencilled in for the
Tommi Makinen Racing prepared Abarth Grande Punto S2000.

CEO Simon Long commented to Autosport: "Our sport
is built on heroes and iconic figures - and they don't come any
bigger than Kimi Raikkonen. Just the mention of his name has
got my pulse racing. I'd be more than willing to talk to his
people to help out in any way we can. We've seen the attraction
WRC holds for Valentino Rossi, and I'm sure it would be the same
for Raikkonen."
29-year-old
Raikkonen is contracted to Ferrari until the end of 2010.
