Raikkonen's Lotus pulls out of test

BARCELONA - Kimi Raikkonen's Lotus team pulled out of the second preseason Formula One test in Barcelona on Tuesday after a problem with its new car.

The former Renault team had earlier called a halt to the first day of the session at the Circuit de Catalunya after Frenchman Romain Grosjean had completed just seven laps in the second chassis.

Lotus had said it would return the car to the factory in Britain and replace it with the first chassis used in Jerez last month, where returning 2007 champion Raikkonen was fastest on the first day, but that plan was later abandoned.
