Kimi Raikkonen's wife suggests Lewis Hamilton takes up ballet after Silverstone jibe

Hours after Lewis Hamilton suggested her husband had deliberately driven into him during the British Grand Prix, Minttu Raikkonen took a swipe at people who "cry like a girl" when they lose.

Lewis Hamilton's hopes of a fifth consecutive Silverstone victory went up in smoke within moments of the start: after a poor getaway from pole, the world champion was punted at Turn 1 by Raikkonen as they tussled for third position. It left Hamilton facing a recovery drive through the field, which he executed well to return to second position behind championship leader Sebastian Vettel.
