Following our coverage of the incident between Kimi Raikkonen and World-renowned photographer Paul-Henri Cahier ahead of Sunday’s British Grand Prix, the photographer has now issued a statement in his defence.

Raikkonen’s camp defended the driver, who pushed over the photographer, insisting he had been provoked after Paul-Henri had “touched” the 28 year-old and “stood on Kimi’s gear”.

Midday sun it was not, but the way Lewis Hamilton was driving on Sunday it could just have well have been.

“We’ve done it, we’ve bloody done it,” were the words of elation from Hamilton after he gave his peers a masterclass in the wet at Silverstone and produced his greatest drive to date.

Raikkonen endured a mare of a race during yesterday’s British Grand Prix as his Ferrari team struggled to adapt their strategy to the changing weather conditions. However, it appears the Finn was frustrated even ahead of the red lights going out.
