Former world champion Kimi Raikkonen will return to Formula 1 next season after signing a two-year deal with Lotus Renault GP.
The 32-year-old Finn left Formula 1 at the end of 2009 to pursue a career in rallying.
"My hunger for F1 has recently become overwhelming," said Raikkonen. "It was an easy choice to return with Lotus Renault GP."
Raikkonen's new team will be known as Lotus F1 Team from 2012.

Looking forward to his return in 2012
I found him always fun to watch during the races.

Been some crap here too. Channel MTV3 has been airing F1 since 1994, free to watch.
In 2007 they made the most idiotic decision they have ever made and switched
F1 over to one of their pay-to-view channels.

Always liked/admired him bu hope it doesn't turn out like the Schumacher return.

F1 needs to have standardised cars, rather than two or three teams having technical superiority over the rest of the field. I'm tired of seeing Red Bull/McLaren/Ferrari win because they've got the big budgets for racing.

That said, Kimi coming back will be interesting. He's rather volatile when he gets annoyed.
