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!
