Members of Lewis Hamilton's world-championship winning Mercedes team were robbed at gunpoint as they left the Interlagos circuit on Friday night. A minibus, transporting Mercedes staff back to their team hotel, was held up at 2200 local time. One of the team had a gun held to their head, Hamilton said. "One minibus was robbed at gunpoint. Valuables were stolen but everybody is safe and uninjured which is the main thing," a Mercedes spokesperson said.
