Lewis Hamilton’s father Anthony Hamilton has wrecked a £330,000 Porsche Carrera GT in Burnham Green, Hertfordshire.

The Dad of the F1 ace is thought to have spun his sportscar before crashing into some bushes just yards from his Tewin family home. Lewis’s stepmother Linda was thought to be a passenger in the car at the time of the accident although neither she, nor Anthony Hamilton, were injured.

A spokesperson for Hertfordshire police confirmed, “The driver will be spoken to by officers as part of routine inquiries. No one was injured.”
