Former F1 star and TV pundit BANNED from driving
Former F1 driver and TV pundit Mark Blundell has received a six-month driving ban for speeding on a Northamptonshire A-road, going 26 miles per hour above the limit. Blundell, known for his F1 career from 1991 to 1995 and a Le Mans win in 1992, was reportedly driving a Land Rover at 96 mph on the A14 Cold Ashby near Junction 1 Overbridge. Despite not being present at court, his barrister entered a guilty plea on his behalf, admitting to the offense. Alongside the ban, Blundell was given five points on his license and ordered to pay £1,042 in fines, costs, and victim surcharge. The incident has sparked headlines among F1 fans, raising discussions on Ferrari chiefs, Zak Brown’s McLaren plans, Alpine’s driver decision for 2026, and Oscar Piastri’s stance post Lewis Hamilton advice.
