Speculating is interesting.

What we do know is that the original injury is more than two years old.

Kimi claimed he re-injured it (his back) in Singapore.

Since Singapore he has race three times, each time presumably with doctors advise and consent.

Kimi is not happy with Lotus (pay issues) and threatened to boycott the remaining races.

Kimi is under contract to race a whole season and boycotting any race is a breach of contract (of course, perhaps with justification)

Lotus assured the racing community that Kimi would finish the season.

Claiming an injury negates any intentional breach of contract.

"Kimi Raikkonen will miss the final two rounds of 2013 in the USA and Brazil after electing to undergo back surgery, Lotus have confirmed."

The announcement states "electing to undergo", suggesting that there was indeed a choice not a necessity.

Has the condition of his back changed in some way or is Kimi just done with Lotus?
