Kimi Raikkonen will return to Ferrari next season after the team confirmed the move.

The Finn won the F1 drivers' championship with the Italian team in 2007, prior to an underwhelming three years which saw him leave for a brief rally career in 2010.

Ferrari say Raikkonen will join Fernando Alonso in the driver line-up for the next two seasons, with Felipe Massa departing.

It is an interesting move on Ferrari's part as Alonso prefers to have No 1 status within a team. It is unlikely that one of F1's top four - as Raikkonen is - would accept a secondary role.
