The former Formula One champion had his luxury Mercedes road car towed away to a police pound. And he was forced to issue a humiliating apology after he did a burnout spin and roared off at speed as he left the Albert Park circuit in Melbourne following practice for Sunday's Grand Prix. Hamilton said: 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. Hamilton pulled his stunt right in front of a police van, and the cops followed the £15million-ayear speed king and stopped him at the roadside. Bystanders said red-faced Hamilton slid down in his seat and tried to hide his face as the officers spoke to him. His souped-up Mercedes C63 AMG road car, loaned to him by a local dealer, was seized under laws designed to crackdown on hoons - Australian slang for neds and boy racers. A few hours after the incident, Hamilton, 25, released his apology through the McLaren Mercedes team. He will be charged with improper use of a motor vehicle, which carries a maximum fine of about £750. The car will be held at the pound for 48 hours. Hamilton was turning into Melbourne's Fitzroy Street - a main road packed with bars - at about 9.15pm when he did a burnout, spinning his wheels so the back end of his car swung outwards as he pulled away . A police source said: Smoke was billowing from the tyres and he left tyre marks all over the road. Senior Constable Scott Woodford said Hamilton stopped immediately when he was pulled over and was extremely co-operative. He added: It would have been fair to say that he was fairly disappointed with the incident. Hamilton was interviewed at the scene for about half an hour and passed a routine breath test. Onlookers said he was visibly upset. He is said to have told the cops he was worried the incident would damage his reputation. Hamilton was not taken to a police station. After booking him and loading his car on to a truck, the police gave him a lift back to his hotel about four miles away. He was carrying a male passenger, who has not been named, when he was pulled over. Hamilton was stopped as he left Albert Park after recording the fastest time in morning practice for the big race. It wasn't clear last night whether he would appear in court before leaving Australia, or whether the case will be held in hs absence after he leaves. He was banned from driving for a month in France in 2007 after he was clocked doing 123mph. Police in Australia have been working hard to clamp down on dangerous driving by hoons. One of Hamilton's biggest F1 rivals, Ferrari ace Felipe Massa, publicly backed the campaign hours before his fellow-star was pulled over . -- Celebrating 10 years of bringing diversity to perversity!
