The proof...

French police catch Hamilton speeding

McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton was caught speeding on a French highway last Sunday afternoon.

The 22-year-old rookie was clocked by radar on the A26 motorway, linking the towns of Calais and Reims, at 196kmh at the wheel of a Mercedes CLK, the news agency EFE reported.

It is claimed that French police suspended the Briton's license privileges for a period of one month and fined him 600 euros.

The car was also confiscated, but police gave Hamilton a lift to his hotel, the reports added.

The policemen said Hamilton was cooperative and very courteous.

"He admitted the offence immediately and was really very polite," the police spokesman said, adding that Hamilton had explained in his defence that the motorway was "very clear" at the time.

"It's a section of motorway which is used regularly by foreigners who have a tendency to speed," he added.

"McLaren were made aware that Lewis was stopped for speeding in France whilst driving in a private capacity. We understand he has received a mandatory fine and suspension from driving in France for one month," a McLaren spokesperson declared.

What can I say...

 

[Alex.]

[F1GTR]

What's the speed limit on the A26?! If you went at least 60km/h over the limit here you'd lose your licence for years.

This is just plain stupid. We all know a few weeks ago about how Michael Schumacher drove a taxi and now this. What on earth is going on here? Now if only they were able to make more test sessions for these "impatient" drivers......

Bet he was in his CLK DTM Black Edition (or whatever CLK it was) during the Mercedes commercial with Alonso....

Well we all know that speed kills. I hope Lewis is ashamed of himself.

clearly he couldn't wait long enough to race!

 

[kikie]

Didn't he say on Top Gear that he owns a 4.2l diesel?

Must have borrowed it then. CLK DTM is my guess.

 

[TheCracker]

I think it was a CLK 200k Cabriolet (girlie spec)

Must be mandatory for British drivers in their debut seasons. Jenson Button, BMW diesal, 2000, similar speed.

Watch out Ant, it's only a matter of time.
