The 22-year-old, who narrowly missed out on this year's Formula One Championship, was given a one-month driving ban.

Hamilton's Mercedes was stopped by police near Laon doing 120mph, 40mph over the motorway speed limit, according to reports.

A spokesman for McLaren said: "McLaren were made aware that Lewis was stopped for speeding in France whilst driving in a private capacity.

"We understand he has received a mandatory fine and suspension from driving in France for one month."

The spokesman stressed that the incident would not affect Hamilton's professional driving career.
