Hamilton's dad crashes into playground
It looks like his dad is also playing race driver! Hamilton said in his Top Gear ineterview that his father thinks that he is better driver than him and he would do really well had he had the chance to drive to F1

What a fool, glad no one else was hurt. He'll need to grovel to his son to pay for the repairs.

Ouch, I'm glad no one was hurt in the accident, although I'm sure there's a bruised ego.
