Lewis Hamilton is understood to have been banned from driving in France after being caught speeding on a French motorway.
The Brit driver was apparently clocked doing 120mph in a Mercedes near the northern town of Laon on Sunday.
When he was stopped it is said he got a £429 fine and police confiscated his car.
‘He was very polite and cooperative,’ Sky News quoted a police spokesman as saying.
It is believed Hamilton is now banned from driving in France for one month.
