It is awesome that Raikkonen will be driving in the WRC next year. First, he brings valuable media attention to a motor sport that generally doesn't get much coverage. Second, the WRC needs some fresh talent to shake things up a little. Third, and most importantly, he is very quick in a rally car, as he proved in Finland in last August. Now, he did crash out eventually but that was probably just inexperience. So, while he may not be a potential WRC champion, he could be on the podium a couple of times.
Raikkonen only has a one year deal with the Citroen Junior team, so he may return to Formula 1 in 2011, but who knows? If he does well next year, he could also remain in a WRC car. I wouldn't mind that at all.
