F1:
Hamilton caught speeding in france
by Mathias Olaf Uncertain
24th Dec 2007
Who Is Hamilton?
had his driving licence suspended for a month after being caught speeding on a french motorway, police said on Tuesday. That'll learn him for moving to Switzerland.
The British driver was at the wheel of a Mercedes when he was clocked at 196 km/h near the northern town of Laon on Sunday.
A police officer stopped the vehicle, swaggered up to it, and said, in a fairly obvious piece of satire, "Et qui vous pensez-vous êtes-vous, conasse? Lewis 'Amilton ou quelqu'un? ... Miettes!"
Hamilton's car was detained, and he was fined 600 euros (approx. £100M).
"He was black and driving a Mercedes," said a police spokesman, in a painfully obvious piece of satire. "What else could we do?"
The as-yet-unnamed officer who caught Hamilton is understood to be in discussions with a number of teams over the possibility of a 2008 race seat.
