Ex-F1 driver Heikki Kovalainen will compete in the Finnish Rally Championship next year, with Kimi Raikkonen’s nephew also driving in the same team.
The former McLaren, Renault, Caterham and Lotus F1 driver switched to rallying last full-time competing in the Japanese Rally Championship,, driving a Skoda Fabia Rally2 alongside long-time co-driver Sae Kitagawa.
Kovalainen will once again pilot a Skoda Fabia Rally2, but will be joined by Finnish radio host and media personality Janni Hussi in the co-driver seat. Hussi made her co-driving debut last year competing in two national level events alongside 2021 Junior WRC champion Sami Pajari. "Participating in the Rally Championship series has been a big dream of mine for a long time. It's great that the dream is finally coming true."
