Ferrari confirm Kimi Raikkonen return

Ferrari have confirmed that Kimi Raikkonen will return to the team next season.

The 33-year-old Finn, who currently drives for Lotus, has signed a two-year deal with the Italians.

Raikkonen spent two years with Ferrari until his decision to leave Formula 1 in 2009.

During that time he won his only World Championship to date, beating Lewis Hamilton to the title in 2007.

However, he returned to the sport in 2012 to join Lotus.

Raikonnen replaces Felipe Massa after the Brazilian announced on Tuesday night that he would not be driving for Ferrari next year.
