In a classic example of 'bad timing', Giancarlo Fisichella has lost his driving licence for speeding - just days after taking part in a campaign to warn youngsters of the dangers of 'street racing'.

Last week, the Renault star wrote an article for Gazzetta dello Sport, following the death of a 16-year-old in a street race in Rome. A few days later, the Roman was stopped by police in the Italian capital as he sped to the bedside of his sick son.

"I apologise and I am ready to pay," said Australian GP winner, Fisichella, according to ANSA, the Italian news agency. "I know that I made a mistake, however, my commitment to road safety remains strong.

"I was rushing back home because our babysitter had called myself and my wife to inform us that our son had a high fever," he admitted.
