Kimi Raikkonen had to retire from the Bahrain Grand Prix after a shocking pit-lane incident which appeared to leave a Ferrari mechanic seriously injured. Raikkonen was released, despite not having his left-rear tyre changed and he ploughed through the helpless mechanic, who looked to have suffered a broken leg. Raikkonen immediately pulled up in the pits and the mechanic was taken to hospital.
