Citroen has also been mentioned this week by the press, with Spain's Diario Sport initially reporting talks regarding the French marque.

France's Auto Hebdo has now followed suit, claiming that a Raikkonen/Citroen deal could involve the backing of the Finn's existing drinks sponsor Red Bull and a C4 WRC car.

Regarding Formula One and the Mercedes GP rumours, Norbert Haug indicated that he is keen on Kimi Raikkonen : "He has my number. He can call me at any time."
