According to reports emerging from Brazil, former triple world Formula One champion, Nelson Piquet and his wife Viviane have both lost their drivers licenses for traffic violations including unpaid parking tickets, bad driving and speeding.

Parents to Renault F1 test driver, Nelson Piquet junior, they are now faced with having to partake in a mandatory driver’s education course starting this week, both being forced to attend thirty hours over a week period before taking a final exam in order to regain their license to drive.

"I think we have to pay for our mistakes," Reuters quote Piquet as telling G1. "It's not even just a speeding problem. I got tickets for all kinds of reasons, for things like parking where I shouldn't."
