F1 Star Lewis Hamilton's Dad Crashes Porsche Carrera GT, Shows He's Like Son

Yes, perhaps the old adage of "like father, like son" is actually true. We all know how much Lewis Hamilton loves the Porsches, right? We also know how much he loves diving head first into the walls too. Enter Anthony Hamilton, his father and manager. He was just out having some fun with his wife in a loaned silver Porsche Carrera GT yesterday in jolly good England, when he

"lost control of the 205mph £330,000 ($643,600) supercar just after he left home with wife Linda yesterday."

The Sun continues the story after the jump.

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.

Said Anthony Hamilton after the crash: "I am extremely sorry." Yeah, one would think you'd probably be pretty sorry — although we have seen worse wrecked Carrera GTs before. (Hat tip to David!) [via The Sun]

"PLEASE DON'T HIT THE WALL, PLEASE DON'T HIT THE WALL!!! GAWD DAMN IT!!!"

OMG! there's a very interesting read somewhere online behind that guy (the one that crashed the Enzo), goes into his past... with the Russian/Swedish mafia... and "projects" he started here... even had something to do with the city of Duarte, a little town here in SGV/ Southern Cali! Again, very interesting read if you can find it... all these things were dug up after months of investigation after the crash.
