Raikkonen close to Citroen WRC deal

Kimi Raikkonen is on the verge of committing his future to Citroen in the World Rally Championship, with an announcement expected within the next few weeks according to AUTOSPORT.

Despite looking at options elsewhere, Raikkonen's stance over recent weeks was always to remain a WRC driver and Citroen Sport director Olivier Quesnel said the French firm wants to keep him. AUTOSPORT reports high level sources having revealed that Raikkonen recently agreed to remain at his current Citroen Junior team for 2011, so he can build on the experience he gained this year.
