Kovalainen still aiming to move upF1 rookie Nico Rosberg has chimed-in with some advice for
Kimi Raikkonen - switch to Renault.
Asked by Sport Bild where he thought McLaren's probably-departing Finn would go next year, Williams' Rosberg said: "Renault or Ferrari. I think
he should go to Renault because they will have the best car."
Spanish newspaper AS agrees, reporting confidently that 26-year-old Raikkonen 'will be confirmed by Renault at Magny-Cours'.
With
Giancarlo Fisichella already confirmed for 2007, Raikkonen's arrival at Renault will mean that countryman and existing test driver Heikki Kovalainen will be forced to find a seat elsewhere.
The young Finn told Italian magazine Autosprint that he 'won't accept' another year as a mere test driver. Indeed, AS reckons he will line up alongside Mark Webber and David Coulthard somewhere in the Red Bull stable.
But Kovalainen added: "My priority is to stay where I am. I know the team and the people and it would be a shame to throw away all the work done so far."
