He wont, it'll be Merc trying to get even more interest drummed up about them.
Kimi wants to go rallying apparently

This has been on the cards for a while, rumours were that Brawn was stalling signing Button because Brawn wanted to do a deal with Mercedes (for which Brawn and Fry got paid 110million apparently) and 'zee germans didn't want button or barrichello.
Suprised they sold it to be honest, but then again i really didn't believe Brawn could be competitive next year.

Surely Button is going to play second fiddle to Hamilton with him being McLaren's golden child that they have funded through out a lot of his motorsport career?
Even though button will be technically No1, in reality Hamilton will still be the No1 (just like the Alonso days), he's McLarens 'baby' after all. Because of this car setups and development will favour him rather than Button, who both have completely different driving styles. I think it'll be a cack season for Button next year, he'll constantly be complaining about not having the correct setup and i doubt we'll see him on the podium much. Shame really.

He tested a few months back (aswell as testing a few years ago as well) but the FIA wouldn't grant him a super license.
And kimi is only going to rallying because no one was willing to pay him 17million+ and he was going to get that from Ferrari if he didn't compete in 2010. Problem is, i think he has shot himself in the foot a bit as i doubt he'll make it back to be honest. It would have made more sense for him to get a drive with a team and take Ferrari's offer of 10million (i think) if he joined another team - i doubt he'd have made the 17million, but atleast he'd still be in the sport. It just seems to show that Kimi is only after the cash and doesn't have the head for F1 anymore.
