Heikki Kovalainen will not contest the Finnish Arctic Lapland Rally next week.

The Finn fuelled the rumours recently by sitting in a Proton Satria Neo S2000 rally car while in Malaysia for the announcement of his 2010 Lotus deal.

But according to the French publication Auto Hebdo, Kovalainen "does not have time to prepare seriously for the Arctic Rally".
