Mark Blundell was caught speeding excessively in November last year
Former F1 driver Mark Blundell has been disqualified from driving for six months for excessive speeding, caught at 96mph on a 70mph road in Northamptonshire last November.
Blundell, known for his stints with Brabham, Tyrrell, Ligier, and McLaren in the early 1990s, opted not to attend the Northamptonshire Magistrates Court hearing.
Represented by his barrister, a guilty plea was entered on Blundell’s behalf, resulting in the driving ban, five points on his licence, and a total of £1,042 in fines, costs, and victim surcharge.
Throughout his two-decade racing career from 1984 to 2003, Blundell not only competed in F1 and Le Mans but also in the CART series in the US.
Since 2004, Blundell has managed the sports management company 2MB, initially alongside Martin Brundle, who later focused more on his TV career.
