Zoom Hamilton presented with another award

Kimi Raikkonen on Monday was not awarded the prestigious Laureus World Sportsman of the Year plaudit in Saint Petersburg, but 2007 drivers' runner-up Lewis Hamilton did walk away with the 'Breakthrough of the Year' trophy.

Tennis' Roger Federer was at the Russian awards ceremony to receive the World Sportsman prize for the fourth year in a row. Hamilton, 23, also received his award in person.

Finn Raikkonen did not attend, like fellow unsuccessful nominee Tiger Woods of golfing fame.

Although nominated, Raikkonen's team, Ferrari, also did not win the Team of the Year award; a plaudit that instead went to rugby World Champions South Africa.
