Lewis! Ungallant F1 ace Hamilton under fire for spraying hostess in the face with champagne after winning Chinese Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton is creating a bit of a track record for himself - and this one isn't on the starting grid. Celebrating his win at the Chinese Grand Prix on Sunday, he sprayed champagne straight into the face of one of the hostesses (pictured left, top right and bottom right). Now a leading group which campaigns against sexism has condemned Hamilton's 'selfish and inconsiderate' actions, saying he should be forced to apologise for 'specially directing' the bubbly into the woman's face. Others have called the driving ace an 'embarrassment to the UK', while another said his behaviour showed that he was an 'ignorant clown'. Roz Hardie, chief executive of Object, a campaign on media sexism and 'sex object culture', said it also highlighted the more general issue of women being viewed as sexual objects in the motoring world. It is not the first time the racing icon has whipped out his victory move. He celebrated in a similar fashion after winning Spanish Grand Prix last year. Hamilton controlled the contest in Shanghai yesterday to seal his second victory in three races and extend his lead at the summit of the Formula One world championship.
