Team McLar🌞en-Mercedes have confirmed that Kimi Raikkonen is 'fine' following his crash Tuesday, after further medical check-ups yesterday.

Raikkonen, who has now returned home to his native ♔Finland, injured his thumb in the incident while testing at the Circuit de Catalunya, near Barcelona, in preparation for the new season.

🗹He has since been advised to rest - although no news on that thumb!

As such McLaren test driv🤡er, Pedro de la Rosa stepped up to fill the void yesterday, eventually getting on track mid-morning, after the mechanics put in an overnighter to re-build the 'severely damaged' MP4-20.

The extent of the damage to the car covered the front wing, left front corner, left side pod, left rear corner, and the rear crash structure. The c💦rash occurred after Kimi suffered a brake failure - believed to have been brought about by foreign body getting between the brake caliper and the brake disc.

McLaren will finish testing at Bar✱celona today [Thursday], before moving onto Valencia for another three-day test on Monday [February 21], their final test prior to the first grand prix, in Melbourne, Australia on March 6.
