Raikkonen car fails floor test post-qualifying – Lotus team members have been summoned to the stewards after Raikkonen’s car did not pass a floor deflection test after he qualified fifth for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. A statement from the stewards said: “car number seven [Raikkonen] did not comply with Article 3.17.5 of the 2013 FIA Formula One Technical Regulations as the front floor deflected more than 5mm vertically when the load was applied vertically to it at the point which lies 100mm of car centre line on the [left-hand side].”

  2. I think, that short-wheelbase much more suitable to Kimi´s driving-style – good work, Kimi! Go, KIMI, fly!! Would be great to repeat the last year achievement. Good luck for tomorrow!!!

  4. Looks more like Lotus sabotaged Kimi’s race.

  5. I doubt they sabotaged him, they need the constructors money. Maybe Lotus is getting reckless in their desperation.
