Rovio has made no official comment on its plans for Angry Birds Heikki but it's likely that the game will launch as a web exclusive title with no mention of an iOS or Android version at this time.

Formula One driver Heikki Kovalainen struck a deal with Rovio back in March which saw the racer wearing an Angry Birds helment during they year's season-opening Australian Grand Prix.

"We're so excited to be working with Heikki on this, the first partnership of its kind in F1," siad Rovio's EVP of consumer products Hari Koponen.

"The helmet looks amazing, and we think people are really going to enjoy the webgame and merchandise."

More will be announced here.
