RB did go off, early in the race he went straight on at vale and rejoined at club, allowing Button passed. The TV camera's didn't pick it up, but fortunately I was sat down at club myself

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

Good to see the Stig present at Silverstone.

Calling me a baboon, aapje, tsssss. Someone with a Sig like me would surely recognize the Stig, don't you think?

So Nick, off you go and watch Top Gear (right now, BBC2), might be usefull

The photographer's name is P.H. Cahier, a famous French F1 photographer:
[www.autosport.com]

Here is his version:
British GP 2008 Monday, July 7 Silverstone 2008 Incident -- Press Release
Following the incident involving Kimi Raikkonen and Paul-Henri Cahier on the starting grid of the British Grand Prix in Silverstone, that saw the finnish driver assault the photographer, we decided that it was necessary to clarify a few points.
There never was any contact between the two men, nor did Paul-Henri ever touch Kimi's equipment. Furthermore, the distance at which Paul-Henri Cahier was taking a picture, although close, was completely standard. The photographers who take pictures at Grand Prix races are all professionnals who have been accredited by the FIA, and as the dozen other photographers who were standing next to Paul-Henri Cahier prove, there was nothing unusual or unethical about this situation.
Finally, Paul-Henri Cahier has been an F1 photographer for almost fourty years and has been close to the greatest champions, but none of them has ever behaved in such a rude manner. It is understandable that drivers might get irritable because of the pressure they undergo, but Kimi Raikkonen never even attempted to express his discontent in a non violent way. Paul-Henri Cahier luckily did not suffer any injury, and so does not intend to take any action, but he regrets the arrogance with which Kimi Raikkonen treated someone who was merely doing his job.


His father, the even more famous Bernard cahier just passed away:

RIP

Have a look at their reactions to the last 2 races. Very interesting !

Wednesday, June 25 France 2008!
When my wife saw the drive-through penaly inflicted upon Lewis Hamilton in Magny Cours, she told me she simply turned off the TV... and I suspect she was not alone. Some obviously think that the race track should be considered as an extension of the public road, and Formula 1 drivers threatened with losing their racing license, lest they conform strictly to a growing number of rules and their strict application. I believe that Formula 1 should be all about racing, about risk taking, audacity, courage...

Wednesday, June 11 Canada 2008!
Yes, red lights are red lights... But an F1 Grand Prix race is not a journey on public road. And that's precisely why people watch races, because for an hour and a half they are part of a world where speed reigns, and driving rules are simple; hard to understand why F1 machines should be waiting at a red light...

Difficult to disagree !

Well, it isn't really. It's a sport, and to be a successful sport, it should be sporting. Something F1 is often considered to be lacking in, but removing that sporting element because of fanboys isn't going to make it better for anyone.

These people perhaps shouldn't have to expect to wait at red lights in some peoples eyes, but that they succumbed because of an inability to notice them, or even worse some great big effing cars, is perhaps a bigger issue... extension of the public roads... well if that's how they drive on public roads...

Indeed, making excuses for mistakes. I guess that's human nature.

Yeah Kimi got perhaps unnecessarily angry and shouldn't have pushed the photographer as he did but drivers in the past have done worse to track side marshals and officials, it's nothing new.
