Formula 1 drivers could face sporting sanctions if they lose their driving licences for traffic offences, under plans being considered by FIA president Jean Todt.
"There is an incompatibility between the status of a role model champion, and a possible infringement on the road. A driver is a driver like the others. We are therefore trying to see whether to do something, and how."

Todt's comments come in the wake of the high-profile incident involving Lewis Hamilton at the Australian Grand Prix, when he was charged for 'hooning' after being caught by police for driving recklessly as he exited the Albert Park venue.
Lynda Lou:Idon't particularly like you. From your avatar you would appear white.
Hatty: No problem. Just hate the lying cheat.
