FORMER Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton was caught hoon driving and had his car impounded tonight.
The English McLaren driver did a burnout and a fishtail along Lakeside Drive in front of a Victoria Police divisional van that pulled him over.
Hamilton, who was visibly upset, had his car towed away and impounded and will also receive a fine.
It is understood he told policemen at the scene that he was worried this would dent his reputation.
The Herald Sun understands that he was not taken back the police station for questioning.
The incident happened between 9.30 pm and 10 pm tonight.
In 2007, Hamilton was banned from driving in France after being clocked driving at 123mp/h (around 200km/h).
He was given an on-the-fine and his sports car was impounded by French police.
