Ferrari mechanic suffers broken leg in pit-lane collision

Ferrari has confirmed a mechanic suffered multiple leg fractures during the Bahrain Grand Prix during a botched pit stop for Kimi Raikkonen.

At his second stop of the race on lap 35, Raikkonen was prematurely released from his pit box before all four wheels had been attached to his car. One of the three mechanics working on the left rear, which had yet to be changed, was hit and dragged to the floor as the car accelerated away.
