Ferrari team driver Kimi Raikkonen failed to finish the Formula One race at the Bahrain GP over the pit-stop incident. When Raikkonen drove to the pit-stop, the pit crew member needed to fit a new left rear tire to the car, but as there was a problem with the removal of the old one, he was still in position and had not yet moved when Raikkonen was released back out onto the track. The mechanic suffered a fractured leg and has been taken to the hospital. Race officials have fine Ferrari 50,000 euros for an unsafe release.

Ferrari's pit system gave a green light to Raikkonen, indicating he could exit the pits, despite the mechanics not having replaced his left rear tire.
