The offence was committed at 11.50am on November 30 last year.

Blundell was driving a Land Rover on the A14 Cold Ashby near Junction 1 Overbridge in Northamptonshire when he was caught going 26mph over the legal speed limit of 70mph.

Blundell, a three-time F1 podium sitter and winner of the iconic Le Mans 24 Hours in the 1990s, was not in attendance at Northampton Magistrates’ Court as he was handed his sentence on October 8.

However, his barrister entered a guilty plea to the offence on his behalf.
