Moment a stern-looking Jenson Button was spoken to by a traffic cop in Monaco
F1 driver looked unimpressed as policeman gave his £60k car the once over
THIS is the moment a stern-looking Jenson Button was stopped in his tracks behind the wheel - by an angry traffic cop.
Onlookers said the British Formula One champion was pulled over as he drove through the streets of Monaco in his super-fast C-Class Mercedes.
The McLaren driver didn't look impressed as the officer parked up his bike and strolled around the DR520 Estate taking notes near Monaco's Casino Square.
The stony-faced policeman is thought to have spoken to Button, who was photographed glaring through the window of his £60,000 car today.
One onlooker said: "I think he was pulled over for speeding because the policeman had a notepad out and was taking notes.
"He didn't look too pleased. I think he had a quiet word with him."
The sports car takes just 4.2 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 62mph.
Engineers at Mercedes fitted the super-estate with a 6.2-litre V8 engine which develops a staggering 520bhp.
This gives the limited edition car an electronically limited top speed of 187mph.
A spokesman for the F1 driver said: "In Monaco it is normal for the police to carry out random checks. Jenson was pulled over, showed his ID and that was the end of it. There was no reason behind pulling him over."
