Kimi Raikkonen was back in Ferrari colours this week for the first time since his acrimonious split from the Italian outfit.

The Finn parted company with Ferrari at the end of the 2009 season after the Maranello team bought him out of the remainder of his contract.
Raikkonen, who won his only Formula One title with the famous constructor in 2007, was replaced by Fernando Alonso.

But after agreeing a surprise return to Italy following a turbulent two-year spell with Lotus -- which ended abruptly amid claims the Finn hadn't been paid -- Raikkonen will now line up alongside Alonso in 2014.
"It's good to be back at work," Raikkonen, who won last year's season-opening Australian Grand Prix, said.
Speaking to the Ferrari website, the 34-year-old added: "I began by getting used to all the new systems and procedures that we will use this year. From this point of view, the simulator is really very useful.
