The racer of the year, Jari-Matti Latvala, lifted dramatically his own performance level from year 2009 to 2010. Before that Latvala also made a lot of mistakes that slowed him down.

This year Kimi Raikkonen has just started his own rally career. Latvala encourages the F1-champion to continue on the path he has chosen.

Can Kimi Räikkönen also improve if he continues in rally next year also?

- At least I hope that Kimi will continue. In rally experience is so important. You need that insanely. After the first year Kimi will be able to improve in rally. That's 100% for sure. But it takes about 2-3 years of those those races before you can drive into the group of three, Latvala said to Turun Sanomat.

- Next year would still be a learning year for Kimi but then in the third year he would already be closer. Racing- and noting-experience will still be a different story next year too because there are new rallies for Kimi that the rest of us have drove many times, Latvala says.
