Ross Brawn set to appear in court

Ross Brawn is expected to attend a court hearing on Friday afternoon after receiving speeding charges whilst on the road. It was first revealed that the Brawn GP team owner faced a driving ban a month ago.

It is believed that the Englishman's Mercedes road car reached approximate speeds of 100mph on a 70mph stretch back in May; the car was clocked on the A30 dual-carriageway near Okehampton in Devon.

Having been out of the country on 3 August and therefore not able to travel to Plymouth Magistrates Court for the originally set date of the appointment, Brawn was granted adjournment with the hearing now due to take place at 2pm local time on Friday (BST / GMT +1).
