Source: Autosport.comRed Bull World Rally Championship driver Kimi Raikkonen has admitted
his result from this week’s Rally of Portugal is not important to him,
as he’s more interested in getting to the end of the Faro-based event.
Raikkonen missed the last round of the championship in New Zealand,
but will now contest every rally until the end of the season. The only
rally where he has any previous experience is his home event, Rally
Finland.
"It’s fair to say that everything is completely new to me," said the
former Formula 1 world champion. "I’ve been testing in France, but it’s
not the same as being in competition.
"The other drivers have been to New Zealand – which wasn’t on my
programme – and they also know the Rally of Portugal well, so it’s not
going to be easy for us. That doesn’t really bother me though, as I am
here to learn more than anything else.
"The final result at the end of the rally doesn’t matter to me
really: it’s all about how much information I can take away for the
future. We’re just continuing our improvement step by step."
Raikkonen collected his best ever result on the Rally of Turkey last
month, when he finished fifth in his Citroen Junior Team C4 WRC.

It really looks like that Kimi want to stay in rallies for next year maybe years, cause he talks about taking infos for the future. I’m happy when he’s happy wherever he starts, it’s always great to see him in TV doing his job 🙂
