Kimi Raikkonen isn’t shedding a great deal of light on his future plans although with most seats now taken in Formula One, he is expected to remain in the World Rally Championship with Citroen.

Citroen however  recently announced that Sebastien Loeb and Sebastien Ogier are staying put, without mentioning the future of Raikkonen.

"No, not yet,” Raikkonen responded on Thursday ahead of the Finnish rally if there is any news regarding his plans. We have some decisions to make and I haven't done that yet.  I can honestly say that I do not know.”

FIA president Jean Todt told Turun Sanomat newspaper that he respects Raikkonen's decision last year to move to rallying.

"When he wanted a new challenge, it was very courageous to pick rally,” said Todt. “But F1 is a constant pressure so I can understand why Kimi wanted to do something else.

"What I can say is that if the reigning champion Jenson Button, or whoever wins this year's title should go to rallying, he would not be at the same level of Kimi in their first season," added Todt.

Both Raikkonen and Todt refused to comment on the Ferrari team orders scandal. "I'm not in Formula One, so I don't care what's happening there," said the Finn. Todt added: "We will deal with it in due course, but I don't want to talk about F1 now."
