Kimi Raikkonen had to finish his second free practice early. The engine of the Finn's Alfa Romeo went up in flames so he couldn't continue.
Fortunately, Raikkonen himself remained unharmed. He was able to get out and even helped the marshalls to put his car out of action. Apparently he didn't think they were doing their job fast enough.

Typical Kimi

After the session he reacted and was not at all impressed by what just happened. In front of the Formula 1 cameras he says: "No, it wasn't scary at all. It's just a pity that it's on fire and it becomes such a mess if you want to put out the fire. This is just part of it.
"I'm not going to speculate, I don't know how much damage there is to the car. We'll see. Of course there is damage, I hope it's mainly to the chassis. It's a different engine and gearbox than we'll use tomorrow. It's just a bit more work for the mechanics," said the experienced Finn.
