| Raikkonen inspires Gronholm Marcus Gronholm is looking to use Kimi Raikkonen's successes in Formula One this season to inspire him to the world rally title. The 39-year-old Finn, who drives for Ford, trails Sebastien Loeb by six points in the championship with only this weekend's Rally of Great Britain remaining, meaning he needs to win with his rival no higher than sixth to take the crown. But Gronholm says that if his countryman Raikkonen could come back from seven points behind Lewis Hamilton to win the Formula One title at the final race, then he can do likewise and cap a successful year for Finnish Motorsport. "It will be difficult to win the title but I have a chance and have to make the most of that opportunity. What happened in Formula 1 is a good example," said Gronholm. "With two races left, Kimi Raikkonen had a big gap to make up to win the title and succeeded. That's a big spur for me because for Finland to win both the Formula One and the WRC titles would be something special for my country," he said. Rally Wales GB - Raikkonen inspires Gronholm - Yahoo!
