Police interrupted racing driver LEWIS HAMILTON's night out with new girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger on Friday night (27Jun08) when they insisted on searching his car. The couple's driver was waiting for the pair to leave Zuma restaurant in London when Traffic cops insisted on checking his documents - because the brand new car was not yet licensed as a road vehicle. The British Formula 1 star and the Pussycat Doll have been trying to keep a low profile, but they were forced to face the paparazzi when Hamilton learned his car and driver were at the centre of a police stop-and-check. The driver was asked to stand by the vehicle, while police searched it. The news was quickly relayed to an embarrassed Hamilton, who left the restaurant with his date to make sure his driver and his ride home were OK.
