Will Kimi be tempted by rally offer?

World Rally team boss Malcolm Wilson has offered Kimi a test in one of his team’s Ford Focus cars. Raikkonen has said several times he would be interested in rallying after he quits F1, perhaps in 2010.

“I’d offer him a test,” Wilson told Eurosport. “It’d be a great opportunity for us.”

Reigning World Rally champion Sebastien Loeb also welcomed the prospect of Kimi’s arrival. “I would welcome him because it’s good to have big names coming into rallying,” the Frenchman said. “With the talent he has and with some practice he will adapt and find the feeling.”

Fiat’s rallying team, Abarth Rallye, plans a move from the Intercontinental Rally Challenge to World Rally in 2010 - since Fiat owns Ferrari, could that be the perfect time for Kimi to make the switch?
