Eddie Jordan: We will see a new Raikkonen

Eddie Jordan believes Michael Schumacher's shock return to Formula One will serve as "a big wake-up call" to Kimi Raikkonen.

The Finn has not been on the pace in his Ferrari since winning the 2007 world title, appearing disinterested and far from in love with the sport.

Many believe this is Raikkonen's last season, despite the fact he has another year remaining on his contract.

But with Ferrari and Schumacher taking a gamble, Jordan feels Raikkonen will suddenly be reinvigorated.

Jordan said: "Well done to Ferrari for making this happen, but especially well done to Michael Schumacher because he has nothing to gain out of this, and a lot to lose."

Ferrari confirmed on Wednesday that Schumacher will be ready in time for the European Grand Prix in Valencia on August 23rd.
