Brawn GP's team principal Ross Brawn is facing a driving ban after being charged with driving at 100mph (161kph) on the A30 in Devon.
The alleged speeding incident happened on 30 May, between the Monaco and Turkey Grands Prix, with Brawn exceeding the 70mph (112kph) speed limit as he headed southwest towards Cornwall.
Brawn was listed to appear before Plymouth magistrates but his solicitors wrote to the court asking for an adjournment because he is out of the country. Magistrates agreed to adjourn the case until Friday September 4, when Mr Brawn will be expected to appear.
The court has the power to disqualify him from driving, or impose a fine and penalty points.
Apologies for the alarming headline. We just couldn't resist.
