Formula One:Lewis Hamilton has been charged with "intentional loss of control of a motor vehicle" following an incident on the eve of the Australian Grand Prix in March.
The 2008 Formula One world champion was departing the Albert Park circuit after practice for the Melbourne race when he performed stunts in his loaned Mercedes.
Unfortunately for the 25-year-old, the incident was in full view of a police patrol vehicle, which resulted in Hamilton promptly being pulled over and escorted back to his hotel with his Mercedes impounded.
A spokeswoman for Victoria Police said: "A 25-year-old Swiss resident has had a summons served on his solicitor on Monday, 17 May.
"He has been charged with intentional loss control of the motor vehicle. The court date is August 24 at Melbourne Magistrates Court."
Whether Hamilton will appear in court himself is open to question given the Belgian Grand Prix will take place on Sunday, August 29 with first practice two days earlier.
