They're not 'rolel models', they're just human beings. You want a role model, try John Wooden or Ghandi.

There are too many courts and jurisdictions for any linking to be fair. However the fia have the ability to use rules governing bringing the sport into disrepute if they wanted or needed to.
Time for Hamilton to exit the toxic red necked world of F1,he's always going to have to set impossible examples & be made an example of where others don't.How many former F1 drivers have been booked for massively excessive speeds on public roads eh,for goodness sakes he was just doing his job,entertaining his fan base,if anyone can safely do a burnout its these professional F1 drivers.Maybe the Australian police think they can extract an extra large donut fund from the star F1 champion eh !No,public road infringements should never be linked to a superlicense just becauce the FIA's new captain has a pet project,the FIA is sorely responsible for rules & regs on race day & race car worthiness & eligibility,nothing more nothing less.

They are the lucky ones, they get to drive like most of us would love to for a living. They should drive responsibly on the public roads.

There are too many rules in the world already.

No way. Racing cars aren't licensed to be driven on the roads, therefore racing licences shouldn't be linked in any way to road usage.

Absolutely Yes! any professional driver should be sensible enough to know that they should provide an example to their fans on and off the track, which means following the rules of the road - if they cant, then losing their racing license, even just for one race, is a suitable and sensible punishment, and I'm pretty sure it would be an extremely effective deterrent.
As a graduate of Jim Russell school and a Twitter road safety advocate police and driving schools, and clubs follow, racing school made me a better driver, and I mean driver.
Stupid "driving" is not driving it is moronic motoring, those doing it are moronic motorists, and I know this was meant for Hamilton, and I wish he would get some brains working outside of the track, what he does on it is great racing, but it should never be done outside of it.
But then Vettel must be as bad because he refuses blame for the collision he caused. Yes, collision means its avoidable, accident is not. It was avoidable if Vettel didn't go right.
