Victorian Police have busted Lewis Hamilton doing a fishtale leaving the circuit in his mercedes they have impounded the car for 24hrs and have charged him with improper use of a motorvehicle and being out of control.
Must have been excited about being fastest today.

I bet the policeman was straight on the phone bragging to his mates that he just impounded Lewis Hamiltons car.

Why should he be any different to any other bogan chucking a spin? It sucks but it's hardly going to affect his life FFS :

Good move on the cops part. It will highlight how draconian the laws are there in VIC. I wonder how bad it would have been if Lewis was doing 3km/h over the speed limit. The cop probably doesn't like those laws himself and is doing his best to expose them to the review of the rest of the world.

Just "watched" sports tonight, and they claimed he lost control... FFS, the little tagline along the bottom of the screen said speeding....

Not a good move for a sport which is costing tax payers 50 million a race.

I say good on them. Does this moron think he's exempt from the road rules because he is a formula 1 driver? He deserves the same treatment as everyone else and that's exactly what he received, case closed.

there is a world of difference between Lewis Hamilton and your average meathead in Commodore though.
Not saying it was a good move but at the end of theday, a higly skilled and trained driver letting off a skid isnt going to kill anyone is it. |

Wonder how long it'll take Jeremy to rip Australia to shreds you mean, lol. He's a F1 world champ FFS, the charge of being "out of control" is ridiculous. Improper use yes but out of control? : All a lawyer would have to do is show the judge Hamiltons TG lap in the reasonably priced car in the wet to laugh the "out of control" charge out of court. The improper use and impoundment charge shows the over zealous stupidity of the law in this case but the "out of control" charge shows the over zealous stupidity of the cop IMO. Bushbasher

Ok fair enough, yes wrong thing to do, he broke the law and needs to cop it on the chin, after all can you imagine the uproar if he was let off....
I nearly wet my pants with the "out of control" bit tho.... Sorry Lewis but when Rome and all that, at least if you don't get a trophy you will have a bit of paper for your cabinet....

So,first France now Australia seems that he is a serial hoon. Well Lewis mate your in Oz now and we'll teach ya good and proper driving.
Trust the media to beat it up but you never know it may have no effect on our road rules whatsoever. So if they take his licence off him before the race does that mean he cant drive in the race?? And yes I'm being a bit sarc'y but the licence/race bit could be interesting afterall it is a street circuit.
