et tu, Kimi?

It's been rumored for a few months that Kimi Raikkonen would be joining Ken Block's Ford Monster World Rally Team next year. It seemed even more likely last week after Citroen (who Kimi drove for in 2010) signed Peter van Merksteijn, leaving only 1 team car remaining.

All good so far :D But then that hated acronym found its way into the story. The Monster WRC sponsorship would include some NASCRAP events for Kimi!! :mad:

This on the heals of Travis Pastrana and Piquet commiting to NASCRAP and Petter Solberg's mention last week of a possible NASCRAP run in 2011 :mad::mad:

Ah, Kimi. Haven't seen him recently but I hope he has gotten his over excited mind under control. Last time I actually saw him was for the start of an F1 race a few years back where he (figuratively) let out the clutch, floored it and climbed on top of the car in front of him, having forgotten he was in the last row due to a penalty. I believe Mark Webber was the victim. Might have been Button. Never could keep those British guys separated. They all look the same in BRG.
