Ferrari have made a decision to replace the engine in Kimi Raikkonen's car following his issue in FP2.
The Italian team tweeted to announce the decision saying:
"Out of precaution, the full block (ICE+turbo+MGU-H) on #Kimi7’s car will be taken down for checks and replaced for tomorrow #SpanishGP."
Around midway through the session, a puff of smoke emerged from the rear of Raikkonen's car, Kimi was told to stop the car but instead nursed it back to the pits.
"Today the session was a bit messy, but overall I think it was not too bad," he said.
"At one point we had some issues and I was told by the team to stop the car," he added. "We still don't know what happened, but we'll figure it out.
"This evening we'll have some work to do; we'll go through everything and understand. Tomorrow morning we might get a better idea and know where everybody is. I'm sure it is going to be close."
