Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen made a spectacular exit from his World Rally Championship debut at the weekend.

With team-mate Felipe Massa's crash at the Hungarian Grand Prix still fresh in the mind, Raikkonen's Abarth Grande Punto S2000 car struck some rocks before hurtling into a ditch during the 19th stage of Rally Finland.

Both Raikkonen, the 2007 world champion, and his co-driver Kaj Lindstrom escaped unhurt.

He was lying in 15th place when the crash ended his participation in the event.
