'I don't want to talk about F1'

Kimi Raikkonen sounds less enthusiastic than ever about the idea of returning to Formula One.

The 2007 world champion, who switched full-time to the world rally championship when Ferrari replaced him with Fernando Alonso in 2010, was at one point last year considered as a leading contender for a return to the grid in 2011 with Renault.

He was again put forward as a candidate after Robert Kubica's horror rally crash, but 31-year-old Raikkonen expressed no interest and has recently confirmed he is happy rallying under his own entry, which finished a promising eighth in the opening event in Sweden earlier this month.

"I have no interest in returning to Formula One," he is quoted by Gulf News. "I do not want to talk about Formula One. Rallying is where I want to be. And it is good to be back for another season."
