Kubica would welcome Raikkonen at Renault

Robert Kubica says he would welcome Kimi Raikkonen as a team-mate at
Renault next year if the squad lures the 2007 world champion back from
rallying to Formula 1.

Raikkonen has been linked with a return to F1 with Renault in 2011
after a one-year absence, with the Anglo-French squad now the most
competitive team with a vacant seat should the Finn decide to end his
World Rally Championship project at the end of the season.

Kubica – who recently announced a contract extension with Renault
through to the end of 2012 – emphasised that he did not know whether
Raikkonen was likely to be his team-mate or not, but liked the idea of
pairing up with the former champion.

"As I always say, I have no problems with my team-mates," said
Kubica. "If Kimi will join us it will be very good. I think he is a
great and talented driver.

"It might be very, very good driver line-up with him, but I don’t
know what the future will bring us and who will be my team-mate next
year. I think it’s too early to say."
