LONDON:
Kimi Raikkonen’s comeback picked up speed in Valencia when the Finn, returning with Lotus, tested a grand prix car for the first time since 2009. Lotus said in a statement that the 32-year-old aimed to drive as many laps as possible in two days at the Spanish circuit to get acquainted with his new team and reacclimatise himself with a Formula One car. “It will take time to learn about the car, the team and the tyres,” said Raikkonen.
