Vic police impound Lewis Hamilton's car

British Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton has had his car impounded under hoon laws after doing a burnout near the entrance to the Australian grand prix in Melbourne.
Police intercepted 25-year-old Hamilton on Fitzroy Street at about 9.15pm (AEDT) on Friday after noticing that his car skidded as it was driven out of Lakeside Drive, Albert Park, where the four-day event is being held.
Leading Senior Constable Scott Woodford said Hamilton's rear wheels were losing traction as he accelerated out of the intersection.
"He was disappointed with the incident but extremely cooperative with police," Snr Const Woodford told AAP.
"Given that Melbourne's on the world stage with a lot of interstate and international visitors, we would expect drivers to observe road rules."
Earlier on Friday Hamilton recorded the fastest lap time at a second practice session for the grand prix.
His late model silver Mercedes sedan was seized by police to be impounded in Preston, and he was charged on summons with improper use of a vehicle.
The car will be eligible for release from 9am (AEDT) on Monday

C280s aren't that expensive, could easily get it with salary sacrifice lease arrangement.
