Speculation about Kimi Raikkonen’s future has heightened after newspaper reports that he has concluded a deal to join Ferrari in 2007.

The Sunday Mirror reports that Ferrari will pay £22 million for Raikkonen’s services when his present McLaren contract expires at the end of next season.

The Raikkonen-Ferrari rumour is one of the most insistent of this year’s silly season.

The smart money is on Michael Schumacher retiring after 2006, and Ferrari boss Jean Todt has regularly suggested that Raikkonen would be the ideal successor to the seven time champion.

Raikkonen is also said to have grown frustrated at McLaren this season.

Despite being the fastest man on the track for much of the year, Kimi had to concede defeat in the world title battle at Interlagos last weekend.

With five-time MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi increasingly open about the fact that Ferrari are courting him for an F1 future, it appears that the Raikkonen-Rossi ‘dream team’ line-up could be coming closer to reality.
