it does not matter who he is , he was caught speeding and should be dealt with accordingly !

"They did not know it was him," he said. "All they saw was a car going too fast."

So .. if they had known who itwas .. would he have been let off ??

I though Lewis was supposed to be one of the best drivers in the World. Obviously he's one of the worst. How dangerous and irresponsible. Driving at these speeds on a public road Lewis is a disgrace to motorsport and certainly not the role model for youngsters he is keen to claim.

Hopefully the FIA will take an interest in this matter and penalise him for his utter contempt for road safety, not to mention McLaren and Mercedes (which he was driving at the time). Not exactly a good advert for your sponsor being caught doing 122 mph.

Perhaps he tought he was still on the Top Gear track.

Hey, Lewis, you are almost there: it's on the track where you should be faster! Glad the French Police didn't see you entering to a gas station or being assisted by a crane. It would cost you a life time ban.

PS: FIA has announced that he won't be punished but, from now on, anybody doing the same will will have the license suspended for three months.

PS: It's unofficial but there are some rumours about Kimi being punished some minutes before for doing 217kph.

Lewis Hamilton still has to grow up. He may be a F1 star which brings along some responsibilities too. Speeding 50km/h over the limit not a show for somebody supposed to be a driving role model.
Escaping to tax haven Switzerland is demonstrating his greediness already. There are other things to learn from Schumacher!

Andres, London,

nice one lewis save it for the track though i seem to remember a racing driver or two doing the same thing this was on the way to the circuit though.
