Zoom Raikkonen keeping busy in the off-season

Ferrari has no problem with Kimi Raikkonen contesting Finland's famous Arctic Lapland Rally later this month, team boss Stefano Domenicali has insisted.

Formula one teams often baulk at drivers' requests to engage in potentially dangerous off-season activities, but it emerged last week that Raikkonen, the team's title winner of 2007, has entered himself as the driver of a Fiat Abarth S2000 in the event later this month.

"This is the traditional attitude we take to our drivers," Domenicali said at the launch of the F60 yesterday.

"We always try to have a very open attitude to what they do. I see this as an extra two days of testing for Kimi."
