Regarding the clip with Kimi and the child (who he did NOT knock over), that was 100% both the fault and the responsibility of the woman - end of story.

Whilst I agree with you that it was 100% the other women's fault and responsibility, most people in that situation would of stopped to help pick up the screaming child. . . . . (I believe)

Not paid at all? I thought they were just late on installments... o.o

Not paying Kimi all year... that's grounds for a boycott. He's one of the most talented F1 drivers ever.

In general - yes - but it's quite clear in the video that as he looks back immediately after the child has fallen over when he realised what happened ( by which point he was already some yards away), somebody else has already gone to check on the child's boo-boo. The child was not lying on the ground alone. It's different too if it's quite clear what has happened immediately, but as he was clearly already walking quickly, he was already way past the scene by the time he realised what had happened. At that point - it wasn't a question of stopping to help, it would have been a question of going back to help,which really was not necessary, and in fact likely would have validated the horribly selfish woman's behaviour.

If I was walking that fast and and that happened I would think "Someone is already helping how nice" I would have done what Kimi did.

Can anyone confirm if Kimi has been given an old short wheelbase car here while RG has the newer/faster chassis?

Did you notice he was wearing red overalls at the time?

And??

As for checking on the child, sure, he should have stopped; but, again, we don't know what the context of that clip is, do we?
Not only that; but, when he did glance back, it was to see the woman look at the little one and then continue to chase after him!!
I would say he assumed the child was fine and since she hadn't stopped, why should he?

Uhm...
I know not everyone likes them; but...
when did Lotus become "Louts"??

This (the mother/child thing) happened in what .... 2008??? Why are we even discussing it, when the Vettelheads get all bent out of shape any time the "team orders" thing is mentioned and that happened THIS SEASON!!!

I think he meant the louts that own Lotus. You know the ones who won't pay up.

The video was posted and I commented on the ridiculous amount of flack that Kimi received because of it!!
