The Ice Man cometh..

He's back after two years of rallying and a dabble in NASCAR to take the seat of the 'still not up to it', Robert Kubica. The new Lotus/Renault team used a loop hole in the rules to get Kimi a few laps back in a Formula One car in Valencia earlier this week. Apparently testing is okay outside of the allotted test days if the car is two or more years old which worked out just fine for Kimi and the team to get a feel of what's to come. Laps times were kept under wraps but these runs weren't about setting records, hey this is just the old dunger after all. Kimi's only concern seemed to be the Perrelli's. "It takes a little bit of time to get used to it, but the main bits of driving - braking, turning, the normal things - don't take many laps. But learning about the car, the team and the tyres will take time" he said. It's great for F1 and for the fans to have Kimi back and who knows just how quick the new Lotus will be with a champion on the pedals, especially after he nails the main bits.
