PARIS -- Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton's driver's licence has been suspended for a month after he was caught speeding.Hamilton was clocked going 196 km/h in a Mercedes on the A26 highway near the northern town of Laon on Sunday night, a police spokesman said yesterday.
"He (Hamilton) recognized the infraction he had committed straight away," the spokesman said. "He was very courteous. The police officers then took him back to his hotel."
Hamilton's car was taken away by police and picked up by a friend on Monday. The spokesman said the police officers did not recognize Hamilton, who was alone in the car, until they looked at his identification papers.
"They did not know it was him. All they saw was a car going too fast," Dujardin said, adding that Hamilton is banned from driving on French roads for one month.
