Citroen Racing team principal Olivier Quesnel confirmed that he wants former F1 driver Kimi Raikkonen to say with the French marque for the 2011 World Rally Championship.

Raikkonen has not said a thing about his future, and the Finn indicated he is also in talks with other teams for next season. Is Raikkonen discussing with Formula 1 teams to make his return in Grand Prix?

Raikkonen has several options for next season, including making a comeback in Formula 1. He could also return to F1 in 2012 to replace Mark Webber at Red Bull Racing, as the Australian said he could retire at the end of 2011.

The Finn expressed his desire to stay in WRC. After a difficult start to the season, Kimi set some impressive times, and win his first Super Special stage at the Deutschland Rally earlier this month.
