Raikkonen said: “I am really happy to be returning to Maranello where I previously spent three fantastic and very successful years.
“I have so many memories of my time at Ferrari, memories which have stayed with me these past years, first and foremost, winning the World Championship title in 2007, which was really unforgettable.”

Raikkonen has impressed since returning to F1 at the start of 2012 with Lotus and has now agreed a return to Maranello on a two-year deal to replace Felipe Massa.
