NICE, France (Reuters) - Colombian Formula One driver Juan Pablo Montoya has had his driving license confiscated for speeding, French police said on Monday. The Williams driver was caught driving at 204 kph in his BMW on a motorway between Le Muy and Frejus, on the French Riviera.
Chased by motorcycle policemen, he had his license confiscated on the spot. Montoya, who lives in Monte Carlo, faces a heavy fine as speeds are limited to 130 kph on French motorways.
The incident will not affect his world championship campaign since a regular driving license is not required to drive a Formula One car.
