Formula One's fast emerging 'playboy', Kimi Raikkonen, was in trouble this time on track as he 🐠suffered brake failure at the Barcel🅠ona circuit at the end of the first day's testing this week.

Th🍎e brake failure - believed to have been brought about by foreign body getting between the brake caliper and the brake disc -🀅 caused a heavy impact, severely damaging the McLaren MP4-20 chassis.

The Finn, who was reported pictured during the F1 off s꧑eason cuddling an inflatable dolphin after enjoying a night out, and ꧃has also been reported in the tabloid press as having enjoyed a private room in a London strip club, will not be driving on Wednesday as a precaution following the incident.

Raikkonen had comꦯpleted 83 laps under sunny clear skies at the Barcelona circuit, and was two-thirds of the way through a simulated Grand Prix run when the ♛crash happened. Although the damage to the car was severe, all Kimi suffered was a bruised thumb.

"I don't really know what happened," said Kimi after the incident. "It was quite a big impact and I'm a bit shaken up and have hurt my thumb. I'm not going to be testing tomorrow but hopefully 🌺๊Pedro [de la Rosa] will be able to complete the programme with the repaired car."

Juan Montoya meanwhile was relie🌠ved to see that his team-mate was ok.

"I'm pleased that Kimi is OK as it was quite a big impact," he added. "We completed most of the programme today. I had a small problem with a𓃲 dragging clutch in the morning which hindered my running a bit, but at the end of the day that is what testing is all about - find the problems and solve them. We will continue the prog༺ramme tomorrow and take it from there."
