Two members of the Raikkonen family will contest the Arctic Lapland Rally later this month.
Finnish broadcaster MTV3 reports that now that 2007 world champion Kimi Raikkonen has signed with Citroen for this season, he has given his older brother Rami his Fiat Abarth Grande Punto S2000.
Raikkonen used the S2000 several times in 2009, including his World Rally Championship (WRC) debut in the Rally Finland. His first professional outing in WRC will come at the Arctic Rally when he will drive the Red Bull-branded Citroen C4.
He left F1 late last year for WRC, when he was bought out of his Ferrari contract to make way for Fernando Alonso. It later emerged that he had talks with McLaren, but could not agree terms.
