FIA's new chairman Jean Todt thinks Kimi Räikkönen's transfer to WRC-rally is the years most remarkable motorsport-news.

Todt thinks that even 7-time world champion Michael Shcumacher's comeback to F1 doesn't compete with Räikkönen's transfer to rally.

- For me F1-champion Kimi Räikkönen's arrival to WRC-rally is more revolutionary than Michael's comeback! It is a really bold move from him. How competitive is he compared to special men like Sebastien Loeb, Mikko Hirvonen and Dani Sordo? It will be interesting, Todt said in Luxemburg's Quotidien - magazines interview.

Todt has worked as Schumi's team manager in Ferrari and wasn't particularly surprised by the old champion's Mercedes-contract.

- Having fun by driving motor cycles didn't seem to be enough for him, especially when a big team was asking for him. I hope of course that he reaches to top results, Todt said.
