Cristiano Ronaldo gets in more car trouble
Six months after having his Ferrari 599 GTB written off after a collision with a concrete wall, Ronaldo is again in trouble for a car-related incident. The Real Madrid star allegedly used his £80 million-valued feet to kick the car window of 17-year-old student Sara Pardal, sending shards of glass flying into her face. The FIFA World Player of the Year was heading to an Elton John concert with his mum and sisters when he spotted the girl videoing him. Ronaldo claims she was with a photographer who had been stationed outside his house for days and that he only reacted because his mother was distressed. He has expressed regret but also accused Pardal of exaggerating her injuries.

C-Ron defends his recent motoring accident

A few weeks ago, Cristiano Ronaldo decided to raise his insurance premiums even further into the stratosphere by making some drastic alterations to the chassis of his gorgeous £200,000 Ferrari 599 GTB.

Today, he has insisted his driving skills are not to blame for the accident:

“I actually consider myself a good driver. I’ve never had an accident ins ix years, apart from this one.

“I was unlucky, I caught oil on the road, a bit of ice and there you are.”

Perhaps Ronaldo did fall foul of Manchester’s notorious oily-ice tunnels, but are we meant to believe he was sticking to a safe speed? We’re not sure what the official speed limit of the road is, but the only way he could have done that much damage to the front of the car at 30mph would be if he hit a landmine.

Credit may be terribly crunchy for most of us at the moment, but Frank Lampard clearly hasn’t had to start doing his weekly shop at Aldi yet.

Instead of preparing for his trip to Hull, the Chelsea star spent some time earlier this week checking out some vintage Ferraris at a London auction. The nippy little red number costs £3.6m, or as Lampsie may consider it, a mere 28 weeks worth of wages.

Top marks to him for avoiding the footballer cliche of buying a Land Rover Sport (although he probably already has three), but what’s with the casual look? Either he came straight from training, or a certain sportswear manufacturer insisted he was snapped in their gear (see more about my Adidas conspiracy at the bottom of this post).

Ooh, check out Mr Nice Car! 

There are rules when you have a red Ferrari. Strict rules. For example, you must only drive it around poor areas - that way people have something to aspire to when they’re tucking into their powdered eggs. And most importantly, your car must always be totally pristine, inside and out. Unless, it seems, you’re the Premier League’s number one rebel, Jermaine Pennant.

Of course, this isn’t the first time that Pennant hasn’t flown straight with the rules - the man is a persistent rule breaker. But judging by this picture, he’d managed to correctly locate the downtrodden area, yet he couldn’t be bothered to throw away the various carrier bags and CD cases cluttering up his passenger seat (below). Impoverished people will learn nothing from that. Nothing at all.

Kimi Raikkonen spun off twice during yesterday’s soaking wet British Grand Prix. Some would blame the risky tactical decision that resulted in him losing grip, but I’d like to think it’s all this photographers fault. Look at him, trying to do his job and take photos at a public event. Disgusting.
