Red Bull’s Mark Webber has been reprimanded for his collision with Scott Speed during Friday’s practice at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
Despite his iceman image, Raikkonen lost his cool during Friday’s second practice session and his actions led to a FIA investigation.
On his way to lapping fastest during the session, the Finn had an altercation with Scott Speed. The American, driving for Toro Rosso, allegedly blocked Raikkonen leading to the 27 year old giving him the birdie in retaliation.
Scott Speed has dismissed claims his party-animal ways nearly cost him his Formula 1 seat saying the rumours are “ridiculous.” The American driver was the last driver in the field to be announced. Toro Rosso owner Gerhard Berger said that he had doubts over Speed’s commitment to the sport.
It was never going to be easy for Scott Speed this season - the new Ferrari powered car was only launched a couple of weeks before the start of the season, giving the drivers little time to acclimatise themselves to the new car, and Speed’s career being in limbo as Berger agonised over whether to let him drive this season or not, with Speed only getting the final nod a few weeks ago.
