MOTORSPORT: Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen will use a break in the Formula One season to take part in a World Rally Championship stage in his native Finland next month.

Former F1 champion Raikkonen, who has raced in three non-championship rallies already this year, will test himself against title favourites Sebastien Loeb and Mikko Hirvonen. The race starts on 31 July, the weekend after the Hungarian Grand Prix and three weeks before the following F1 date in Valencia.
