Lewis Hamilton was pulled over for a reckless driving offence in a city street in Melbourne, Australia just two days before the Australian Grand Prix. The McLaren Formula 1 driver was said to have spun in the wheels in a “burnout” style manoeuvre in a 2010 silver Mercedes on Friday.
According to the newspaper “The Herald Sun”, Lewis will be charged with improper use of a vehicle. The stunt was performed in front of a crowd of fans, and due to the crowd there was also police present.
Lewis did release a statement soon after the incident saying:
“This evening, I was driving in an over-exuberant manner and, as a result, was stopped by the police. What I did was silly, and I want to apologise for it.”
Police have said that although he was embarrassed, Lewis was very cooperative.
The car was then towed to a police compound in Melbourne, where it will be held for 48 hours under what Australian police call “anti-hoon” laws - a law which is designed to clamp down on anti-social driving.
After breaking 35 world records and 85 Olympic records the Beijing 2008 Olympics has come to an end. The Beijing 2008 slogan “One world one dream” has totally summed up the last 16 days for me, as I have avidly watched athletes from around the world compete from venues such as the Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park, The National Stadium (The Birdsnest) and The National Aquatics Center (The Water Cube).
Viktors Scerbatihs is the Latvian Weightlifter who today won a bronze medal at the Olympics by lifting a total of 448kg - How cool is that?? While Britain get MP’s who are total idiots that dress in stiff looking suits and who generally think that they are better than the rest of us. Latvia get an MP who is a weightlifter, who actually seems quite a normal person and is not at all like the pompous arses that we get as politicians here.
The difference between a Latvian MP and a British MP!
At the age of 22 Rafael Nadal has just won his first Wimbledon final. Beating Roger Federer by 6-4, 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 9-7, in the longest Wimbledon final in history, they have just finished playing after 4 hours and 48 minutes. He has now become the first player since Bjorn Borg to win both the French Open and Wimbledon back-to-back.
From April 2005 to May 2007, Nadal won a record 81 consecutive clay court matches before being defeated by Federer in the 2007 Hamburg Masters final. This is the longest winning streak of any male player on a single surface in the open era. These achievements have led many to regard Nadal as the greatest clay-court player in the history of the sport.
His career looks something like this, so far:
Singles
Career record: 302 - 73
Career titles: 29
Highest ranking: No. 1 (July 6, 2008)
Grand Slam results
Australian Open SF (2008)
French Open W (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008)
US Open QF (2007)
Wimbledon W (2008) (more…)
So now we are down to the Semi Finals of the Euro 2008 competition. After literally hours of sometimes breathtaking and sometimes very boring football we are down to the last four teams, so once again here are the Ugliest players still in the competition:
As promised we are following the Euro 2008 competition to see which of the ugliest players are going through to the next round….So here is the story so far:
Having watched the UEFA Euro 2008 matches so far, I can honestly say that I am not overly excited about the lack of gorgeous men in the teams. So having trawled through all the players in this years tournament, I have finally come up with two of the ugliest players in each team.
Follow the ugly players as I move on from the group stages to the quarter finals, semi finals and then the ugliest players in the Euro 2008 final….Who will win?
How do ugly footballers always end up dating gorgeous women? Maybe they love them for their looks, maybe they love them for their toned bodies, maybe they love them for their skills with a football, maybe they love them for their personalities, maybe they love them for the publicity & fame that comes with football or maybe they love them for their enormous pay-packets!!
Who knows? Maybe we will never find out but until we do here are a few examples of ugly footballers and their stunning WAGS! (Past and present)
