Hamilton was clocked going 123 mph in a Mercedes on the A26 highway near the northern town of Laon, France, on Sunday night. And surprise, surprise — his driver’s license has been suspended for a month.

“He recognized the infraction he had committed straight away,” police spokesman Arnaud Dujardin said by telephone.

Well, at least you can say the 22-year-old McLaren driver, who won four races last season, is a nice guy.

“He was very courteous,” Dujardin said “The police officers then took him back to his hotel.”
