Ford team principal Malcolm Wilson says he is willing to offer Kimi Raikkonen a World Rally test after the Ferrari driver admitted his future could lie in rallying.

Raikkonen recently said that when he decides to opt out of Formula One he would still like to remain in motorsport, singling out rallying as a possible destination.
"At some time I want to try rallying. That interests me; asphalt, gravel and ice," he said.

And one man who would love to see the Finn in a world rally car is Ford boss Wilson, who says that when the time comes he would happily give Raikkonen a test.

"I'd offer him a test. It'd be a great opportunity for us," Wilson said. "We can do it because we've got the forest (stages) on our doorstep."

"I'm really pleased guys that are in Formula One would like to be driving a world rally car. One or two of them would like to be driving a world rally car rather than an F1 car if the same sort of rewards were there.

"Sadly we're not in that position but I'm sure that at some point the three drivers we're talking about would end up behind the wheel of a rally car."
