It was put to our attention last night that Kimi Raikkonen is to undergo back surgery on Thursday and will not be participating in the last two GP weekends. Having been suffering from a back injury, Kimi was given some minor medical attention and painkillers to tide him over until the season was over, but it seems the pain is too much for the injured Lotus driver.
A replacement will be named soon for Austin & Brazil and it is thought to be given to Lotus reserve driver, Davide Valsecchi.
It is unfortunate for Kimi's season to end this way, but he needs to do what he needs to do to keep his health in check. He wants to be fit and ready for his season next year with Ferrari.
More information on the subject will come soon.
