Reigning world champion Kimi Raikkonen was photographed and filmed pushing over a renowned formula one photographer on the Silverstone grid prior to Sunday's British grand prix.

According to the Finnish television station MTV3, the Ferrari driver - taking off his helmet after driving to the grid - was infuriated when Frenchman Paul-Henri Cahier got too close before stepping on his equipment to take his photo.

"Photographers should respect the fact that Kimi is about to race and not get too close," Raikkonen's manager Steve Robertson reportedly said.

It is understood that Cahier does not intend to take any action against Raikkonen, 28.
