Kimi to Drive for Lotus (Renault)

Schumacher will have someone to talk about the "good old days" with.

Former world champion Kimi Raikkonen will make an eagerly-anticipated comeback to Formula One next season after signing a two-year contract with Lotus, the team currently known as Renault said on Tuesday.

The 32-year-old Finn won his title with Ferrari in 2007 but quit Formula One two years later and switched to rallying.

"I'm looking forward to playing an important role in pushing the team to the very front of the grid," Raikkonen, who also had discussions with former champions Williams, said in a team statement.

Senior Citizen

Sigh, the sport of F1 racing is really on a decline. Allowing such an ancient driver to return, what are they thinking of? I mean, just imagine how slow his reactions and synapses must be at the advanced age of 32?

Sounds like an AARP convention.
