Zitat Unwell Raikkonen pulls out of Barcelona F1 test By Jonathan Noble Saturday, March 2nd 2013, 08:02 GMT
Kimi RaikkonenKimi Raikkonen has been forced to pull out of the penultimate day of testing at Barcelona due to sickness.
The Finn had been set to begin the final two days of running for his Lotus team on Saturday, but was struck down with suspected food poisoning early this morning.
Due to concerns about his physical state it was decided that it was unwise for him to drive, although the team remains hopeful that he will be in better shape for Sunday.
Lotus' other driver Romain Grosjean had left the track on Friday night to head home for a few days rest before meetings at Enstone next week.
Team boss Eric Boullier told AUTOSPORT the Frenchman had been recalled to Barcelona, and there are hopes he will be able to rejoin the test by lunchtime on Saturday.
In the meantime, Lotus reserve driver Davide Valsecchi will start the day's running for Lotus.
Turun Sanomat articles say that Kimi has a stomach disease due to food poisoning. He had eaten on Friday night prawn and fish and nausea began this morning. He is under an intensive antibiotic treatment now, hoping this will help him to be ok for tomorrow. He lost a lot of testing even last year in Barcelona and Mugello.
Kimi arrived in Barcelona together with his brother Rami and nephews Justus and Tiitus.
I'm worried!!! It was reported he soffered from food poisoning even two years ago, in February 2011. I really wish him to recover soon.

Thanks, sweet of him to bring his nephews such a shame he isn't testing. I really hope he can get some running tomorrow. He really needs some running.
thanks Betulla. that he is getting antibiotics means it's severe or they just try to fight it as quick as possible.. well I also hope Kimi can test tomorrow again " title="pray" />
