Ross Brawn could lose his license after police caught him doing 100mph in his Mercedes road car in a 70mph speed zone on the A30 (UK).

Referring to the May 30 incident, his lawyers wrote to magistrates asking for a court adjournment because the Brawn GP team owner and boss is currently abroad.

The Daily Mail said Brawn, who has not entered a plea, will instead appear in court early in September.

Brawn's F1 team, Brawn GP, is currently leading the 2009 Formula 1 constructor's championship by 15.5 points, and Brawn driver Jenson Button is currently leading the driver's championship by a solid 18.5 points. The half points are on account of the rain-halted Malaysian GP, which awarded half the normal allotment of points.

Brawn GP's success has stalled in the second half of the season, however, as both Button and Rubens Barrichello struggle to reach podium finishes where they once dominated the front of the grid.

    In the United States the local governments are really harsh with the speeding tickets; and there is much revenue generated. What I have come across though is that in their greediness they have left open many loopholes that a smart "violator" can benefit from. They expect you to show up, confess, and pay up. However, knowing how to play their game, with strategic legal replies, will generally catch them off guard, and will pave the way for a dismissal.
