Trying to hard again...

Kimi Raikkonen has crashed out on the pre-event shakedown stage ahead of the 2010 Rallye Espana, damaging the roll-cage of his Citroen and ruling himself out of the rally.

 

The Finn's car rebounded across the road and rolled at least once after he clipped a left-hand corner on a tarmac section of the 3km route, damaging the roof section of the roll cage, which will prevent him from starting the rally on Friday.
