Kimi Raikkonen has been given the all clear following his scary opening lap crash at the 2014 British Grand Prix.
The Ferrari driver ran wide at turn five and attempted to rejoin the circuit without lifting, but the bumpy ground caught the Finn out and span him into the right-hand barrier before he skidded across the track and made contact with the left-hand barrier.
According to his team, the onboard impact sensor registered 47G’s, which would explain the need for a visit to the medical centre where his ankle was x-rayed after he was seen limping.
Ferrari confirmed he’s fine but bruised and whilst he will be fine for the German Grand Prix in two weeks time, he won’t take part in the post-British GP test on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Team-mate Fernando Alonso tweeted: “First of all, good news, it seems that Kimi is ok!! Wishing him to be 100% in the next days!”
