Kimi Räikkönen had to give up testing his Lotus E21, Saturday, in Barcelona, Spain, when he found out he was suffering from food poisoning, Formula1.com reported.

Davide Valsecchi, the team's reserve driver, took over the morning session.

Meanwhile, Romain Grosjean who, having completed his scheduled two days Thursday and Friday left the track, was called back for the afternoon running.

The Frenchman went 10th fastest, and his teammate 11th, only a tenth down on him.

Fingers crossed, Räikkönen will be well enough to drive tomorrow, Sunday, to wrap up pre-season testing.
