Not long after creating a stir with the photographer incident at Silverstone, reigning Formula 1 world champion Kimi Raikkonen has once again found himself in the media's glare for all the wrong reasons.

A new video clip, depicting the Ferrari driver in the Hockenheim paddock, shows him trying to avoid a woman's determined autograph folder that had been thrust forcefully in his path - only to accidentally knock a toddler to the ground.

The Swiss newspaper Blick unkindly pointed out that the Finn, who is 28, "did not even apologise" as he hurriedly walked on.

But it must also be noted that the woman similarly ignored the screaming toddler, before Raikkonen turned to her - presumably to advise that her child needed a hug from her mother more than a formula one driver's autograph.
