My question is...why? Was it the weather?

Wow.. I'm really surprised....
I'm a Kimi fan. Strange to see this outta him though. :-( Would like to know his side of the story.

It's been on the headlines in here, his manager said that Cahier really was standing on Kimi's gear.

Wow.. what a pussy.

"did'nt suffer any injury"... no shit - he squatted down on the guys stuff... pushing him away was a natural and normal reaction.

When did the "west" become populated with whining pussies?

Okay, so from the video you can clearly see that Kimi looks down to his gear, then, pushes the photographer away...In that case I think his actions were justified, seeing as those drivers usually have special 'routines' on the grid. However, I also think it was maybe just a little bit excessive; if that grass was concrete or a tyre warming generator, I'd be sorry for the back of that man's head.

The really interesting thing though...is after the ensuing lull where the Cahier gets back up..the other photographers all swoop in...all at the same time!:laugh:

My experience is that media photogs are massive assholes.

Damn.......that's abit much. I am disappointed.

should've run him over

Definitely excessive from Raikonnen, but Cahier was definitely in his way. Raikonnen was in the middle of putting on all his gear and Cahier was very unprofessional and disrespectful to get in his way.

LOL. But he pushed him in an awesomely cool Iceman like manner. Cold and ruthless. Just one push and the deed was done. Ice. :laugh:

^LOL, if you put it that way.

Yeah, but still, I think 4th is by no means disastrous. The photographer is in his way, but I guess not really annoying enough to justify the pushing.

Sounds like something Vanilla Ice would say. "That nigga was annoying. I was burnin' with anger, so I gave him some ice told him to chill! Ice ice baby! Word to ya mother!"

It's interesting that they don't show anything before he pushed Cahier out of the way, just the photographers taking reaction shots. I'd say Kimi was justified.

not that big of a deal my perspective, legally speaking he should go to anger management classes as most people are required in that situation in the limelight it was a bad move on both parts there should be someone there to make sure that doesent happen to kimi or any of the drivers dont know what he was standing on or how much it meant to him over the safety of others or ferrari prob couldnt afford to replace it weird

Today Kimi himself has said that first the camera hit him on the helmet, and then he saw a photographer standing on his fireproof hood (the one that goes under the helmet). He also said that this fuss is getting out of proportion.

The push was justified though, Cahier was standing on Kimis gear and touching him. Cahier just whines like a little girl.

He got away easy, F1 drivers from the old days would've ko'd him. Somebody like James Hunt :D
