the Iceman cometh back?

I just received a text from a friend regarding the resurfacing of the Kimi rumour: Raikkonen might be coming back to Formula One, and he's supposedly in talks with Renault for a drive next season.

BERJAYAWell, to that I say: I will believe it when I see My Man enjoying a popsicle from the pit lane.

UPDATE 09/16/10, from PlanetF1.com:

Earlier this week, Renault's team boss Eric Boullier told Autosport that Raikkonen is "is on the radar" for next season, adding that the former World Champion is there "because he contacted us."

And although Raikkonen's manager Steve Robertson did revealed that he had been the one to speak to Renault, that doesn't mean the Citroen Junior rally driver is heading there next season.

"It is true that I spoke with Boullier," Robertson told the Finnish newspaper Turun Sanomat. "We want to explore all the possible options for next year so Kimi and I asked what Renault are doing."

Robertson, though, did admit that another season in the World Rally Championship is Raikkonen's most likely option.

"At this time the media world is littered with a variety of rumours. Some even say that Kimi could go to the NASCAR series but that is certainly not an option. Katrocket has strictly forbidden him to sink to that level."

Are you certain there's only one of this guy? After all, he does come with bar codes.

Um...he IS a Fin right?
