It would seem that the only good time Lewis Hamilton had at the Australian Grand Prix was when he was actually smoking the tires his loaner Mercedes ᩫ AMG. Once that burnout was complete, though, wheels came off: Hamilton got nicked by police under Melbourne’s anti-hoon laws, had car impounded, qualified 11th race and finished sixth.
And it’s not over: Lewis has been officially charged by a Melbourne court with intentionally losing control a vehicle. A summons a court date August 24 was given his Australian solicitor, with Belgian Grand Prix taking place on August 29 chance his appearing on that date seems slim. If nothing else, charging a former Formula 1 world champion – and Swiss resident, boot – is best lesson every non-world-champion out there who plans visit Melbourne: Do. Not. Hoon. Hat tip to Robert
