Kimi Räikkönen has revealed to Heikki Kulta/TS that his dream is to be the first driver who wins the WDC in both F1 and WRC.

- When talking about Kimi, winning the championship in WRC isn't any utopian idea, Tommi Mäkinen says.

The 4-time champion knows both rally and Kimi Räikkönen. Last summer Mäkinen was in a central position when Räikkönen took part in Jyväskylä WRC-rally with his Fiat Grande Punto 2000 -car. His company Tommi Mäkinen Racing took care of Fiat's tetechnology.

Mäkinen says though that one can't dream about a title during the first season. First you have to get properly into the genre and the serie. The wildest dreamers need to put some ice in their hats because Kimi's visit to WRC might last for only one year.
- Succeeding requires a lot of kilometers from Kimi. He still has to learn the co-operation work with the co-driver and how to take the maximum advantage out of the pace notes. Kimi still has things to learn in that area even though he drives well without any rally-experience, Mäkinen says.

Kimi's and Tommi's talks in Jyväskylä proved that Räikkönen has a genuine interest in rally and in the rally car. The two champions' co-operation brought speed into the N-class car.
- Kimi drove a lot and together we made some small changes into the car.

Track drivers have earlier made quick trips to rally paths. Their positions have been among the last ones and their speed hasn't been blazing either.

Kimi's driving opened up the experienced Tommi Mäkinen's eyes even though Kimi's journey ended in the forest.
- My attitude has always been that the track-guys can't rally at all. When it comes to Kimi it isn't true at all so thanks to him I've had to change my attitude.

The difference between F1- and WRC-worlds are quite big. F1-world is distant and protected whereas the WRC again is more relaxed and open. Can this create some problems for Kimi?
- He will most definitely not have any problems adjusting. I'd say that it's the other way around.
