SPIELBERG, Austria -- Championship leader Lewis Hamilton will drop from second to fifth position on the Austrian Grand Prix after blocking Kimi Raikkonen during qualifying on Saturday.
A slow-moving Hamilton was caught by Raikkonen in the early part of the opening qualifying session, Q1. Although Hamilton noticed the Alfa Romeo driver and moved off the racing line, it was too late for the Finnish driver, whose lap was hampered by the evasive action he took to slow down.
Raikkonen raised his middle finger at the five-time world champion as he passed him.
