Not for the first time talk of Kimi Raikkonen returning to F1 has surfaced but Red Bull have denied he will make a comeback with them.

With Mark Webber yet to sign a new contract and his position at Red Bull under scrutiny after he repeatedly ignored the team's orders during Sunday's British GP, the rumour mill has gone into overdrive regarding who could replace Webber should he leave the team.

Former Ferrari man Raikkonen, who has turned out for the Red Bull-sponsored Citroen Rally team, has been consistently linked with a return to F1 since his departure at the end of 2009 so it comes as no surprise that the Finn has been named as a contender for a seat at Red Bull.

However, Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has been quick to pour cold water on the idea.

"Kimi Raikkonen is and will be an issue for us, this is definite," said Marko.

"He will not drive at Red Bull. The rumours are far-fetched and total nonsense."

The Austrian added to German news website TZ that when Webber leaves Red Bull his replacement will be one of "our juniors".

Marko's assertion means that one of Toro Rosso's Jaime Alguersuari and Sebastien Buemi or former STR test and reserve driver Daniel Ricciardo are the likely candidates to replace Webber.
