Hamilton fined over stunts
British motor racing star Lewis Hamilton was fined 500 Australian dollars (£288) for "behaving like a hoon" and performing boy racer stunts.
The Formula One driver was caught by police executing a "burnout" and "fishtail" – tricks in which wheels are spun and skidded – in front of fans ahead of the Melbourne Grand Prix in March.
The 25-year-old former champion was not in court, but his lawyer Sandip Mukerjea said he would plead guilty to the charge of improper use of a motor vehicle.
