In the Magazine: Will Raikkonen return?

Enigmatic Finn Kimi Raikkonen has recently visited the Williams team headquarters, sparking rumours that the 2007 world champion may be about to make a return to F1 with the legendary British squad.

Having quit the sport at the end of 2009 to try his hand at rallying, Raikkonen, who won 18 grands prix with McLaren and Ferrari, has admitted he wants to race again. Will Sir Frank's eponymous team do what it's often done so well in the past - snare a top name? After all, it worked well with Nigel Mansell (1985), Nelson Piquet (1986), Alain Prost (1993) and Jacques Villeneuve (1996).

AUTOSPORT's news team assesses the benefits of a Raikkonen/Williams partnership in 2012 and outlines the potential pitfalls for both parties as we wait to see if there will be six world champions on the grid in F1 2012.
