The world championship leader and two-times Grand Prix winner Lewis Hamilton suffered an embarrassing moment when he damaged the go-kart that had been sold at a charity auction for £42,100 ($83,860).
The British Formula One driver only had to complete a few laps of a circuit built in the centre of London for the launch of Vodafone’s new mobile Internet service. However, he crashed on the second lap and broke the rear axle of the 80mph kart, meaning the winning bidder did not even get the chance to drive the kart himself!
“Oops, that was close,” said the 22-year-old McLaren rookie.
“It’s a bit bent on the back here,” he added after inspecting the kart, which was bought by a Northern Irish bidder.
Nevermind Lewis, at least you didn’t crash your McLaren-Mercedes MP4/22 while battling with Fernando Alonso…
