McLaren: Kimi 'fine' following crash.

Team McLaren-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 driver, 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 crash 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 Barcelona 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.
