Juan Pablo Montoya has been banned from driving on French roads for four months after being clocked at 126 mph on a French motorway between Paul Ricard and his home in Monaco. He also received a fine of $1100 by the court in Draguignan, where he was clocked speeding a month ago.

The ban will have no effect on his ability to race as the F1 Superlicence does not require having a road licence.
