Raikkonen set for first spin in old Lotus car
Finland's 2007 Formula One world champion Kimi Raikkonen made his return to the track after two years away on Monday in a testing session at the Ricardo Tormo track outside Valencia, his new team Lotus-Renault said.
The 32-year-old Raikkonen - winner of 18 grands prix before he switched to the World Rally Championship in 2009 - is in eastern Spain for two days of testing with the R30 2010 model but next month will put this year's model through its paces with team-mate Romain Grosjean at Jerez de la Frontera. Raikkonen won his 2007 crown with Ferrari before switching to the World Rally Championship in 2009 before a spell in Nascar racing. Last November he confirmed he was returning to Formula One with Lotus-Renault after signing a two-year contract.
