Kimi on return to F1...

After one million and one denials that he could return to F1, Kimi Raikkonen now says maybe he's not done with the sport.

Raikkonen walked away from F1 at the end of the 2009 season after parting ways with Ferrari and failing to land a race-seat with a race-winning outfit.

Vettel is easy with P2 in Barcelona Qualifying

Although Sebastian Vettel's run of pole positions came to an end in Barcelona, the reigning World Champion insists it's not a "big disappointment."

Arriving in Spain, Vettel had a four-nothing record in qualifying for the season, however, his impressive run came to an end when his team-mate Mark Webber pipped him to the coveted grid slot by 0.200s.

Making the best of what we have.....

Although Michael Schumacher didn't achieve the third row grid slot he wanted in Spain, he is at least hoping to get some help on Sunday from his extra set of tyres.

Schumacher made it into the top-ten shoot-out for the second successive race weekend, however, was not able to better his previous high of P8.

FIA investigates Ferrari rear wing

A new rear wing introduced by Ferrari in Spain is having its legality investigated by the FIA ahead of qualifying in Barcelona.
