It was my fault - Raikkonen

Scuderia Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen took the blame for the pit stop incident in which he hit a mechanic this afternoon during the European Grand Prix. Raikkonen pushed the throttle before the fuel nozzle was removed from his F2008. The mechanic was dragged along and his foot came under the rear tyre.

Raikkonen said: "There is not much to say. I left a bit too early. It was my fault and unfortunately I ran over the guy who was refuelling. We need to look and see what really happened."

The mechanic has an injury on his foot and complained about back pains. He was taken to the local hospital for further check-ups.
