Kimi also pushed a marshall, but be warned Marshalls can get their revenge. :devil:

Taki is widely regarded as the worst driver ever to enter F1. What a great award to hang on your wall :p: :D

Perhaps he was trying to emulate the famous Hunt vs Marshall incident from all those years ago? We know Kimi checks into hotels as James Hunt :p

I believe not only was he right in his face but he was stepping on his stuff, that's why he pushed him over and I think he deserves it, I can imagine it would be annoying having press in your face all the time but I'd do the same thing if they started trampling on my stuff trying to get a photo 5 inches from my face lol

The photographer in question is very well known in the business and had been a regular on the grid for the past 30+ years. He was standing on things perhaps he shouldn't, but it was well out of order pushing him to the ground. Kimi could have been polite about it and asked him to give room. I don't hit out at everybody who does something wrong without making my feelings known verbally first. It was rude of the photographer and rude of Kimi to react in that way. Kimi was quite lucky the tog didn't report it as an assault, as it would have stood as just that. Plus photographers are entitled to be anywhere they wish on the grid.

As I said I'm a supporter of Kimi and thats well known on this forum. My issue was this over reaction thats all. Had Seb, Hamilton or Alonso done the same thing, it would make many headlines for weeks. With Kimi he is known as the Iceman and regarded as quite rude generally so this sort of thing wasn't unexpected.

I suspect that for Kimi, that was just another Sunday afternoon! Kimi: "What's the problem? I don't have time for this, I'm going to take a dump". :laugh: :D

I have once seen a video of this incident of Kimi. The photographer pushed his way thrue Kimi and was standing on his trunk with the camera in Kimis face.

You're right, I agree. Like I said I can imagine the nuisance it would be to have cameras following you everywhere and in your face and that would be why so many celebrities flip out, but that's apart of the celeb life, which clearly Kimi doesn't like, but yes he should have said something first. If he then continued to do it I'd find it more of an acceptable reaction. It's good that the photographer didn't make a deal about it too. But oh well, there haven't been any more incidents like this that I'm aware of.

The only other incident I can think of was this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkH5qL9J8UU
I would have gone back and picked the kid up and apologised, but Kimi probably thought too much attention would come of it if he did. He could have given the child his cap too. I can't help but say 'awwwwww' every time I see that lol. Its one of those awkward moments where it wasn't at all deliberate, but looks really bad. Kimi looked liked he was dodging the lady autograph hunter and didn't see the child under his feet. I think he perhaps lost a fan that day lol. :)

I think that incident can be classed under the "sometimes sh!t happens" category :p: It was not intentional, but I too think that he could have at least assisted the kid and as you say maybe give him a cap or an autograph or photo opportunity or something.
