Raikkonen's First WRC Stage Win In Germany

     Kimi Raikkonen got his first World Rally Championship stage win at the Rallye Deutschland.  He finished the rally in the 7th. position with a total time of 4:08:28.8;  Sebastien Loeb finished first with a total time of 3:59:38.3.  Kimi said the following after wining the final stage in Germany:  "It’s a nice feeling, definitely, Maybe this stage was a bit more like a racing circuit! But it’s a sign that we’re moving in the right direction and learning all the time. Our work with the pace notes in Germany, for example, was nearly perfect".  This is the video of his perfect driving at the final stage in Germany:


     Raikkonen is considering his future for next year. He said “Nothing is decided yet, but I’m enjoying myself here.  I also think that we’re making progress. Rallying is all about experience, so I think it would be good if we could use this experience next year”.  If he stays in rallying with the Citroen Junior Team next year he would drive the new DS3 WRC: the same car as Sebastien Loeb.
