Well we know where he didn't get his skills from...

Yesterday, Lewis Hamilton's dad Anthony thought it would be a nice day to take his wife and a loaned $650,00 Porsche Carrera GT out for a spin. Well things didn't go to well. Well you know fast cars due to people it makes want to go, well you know, fast. Well unforently Mr. Hamilton couldn't handle fast and spun out his car and crashing it into a children's playground. The British tabloid the Sun picks it up from here.

"It spun through 180 degrees and hurtled backwards through a wooden fence and a thick hawthorn hedge before coming to rest in a children's playground. One witness claimed Anthony...lost it as he showed off to onlookers by revving the engine of the Carrera GT - which can do 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds."
Thankfully, there were no children in the playground and none was hurt, except the Porsche which suffered bodywork and undercarriage damage, which will cost thousands in repairs. As for Anthony Hamilton, well he is very sorry for the accident: “This is my first crash in almost 30 years and it had to happen in someone else’s car. Thankfully the only thing hurt was the car and a bush fence, for which I am extremely sorry.”

No formal charges have been made the police.
