Speed issues for Tilke in BahrainF1's exclusive circuit designer Hermann Tilke had a run-in with Bahrain's local police on Friday.
Whilst returning from a day at the circuit he penned at Sakhir to his hotel in the capital Manama, the German engineer was stopped by
police on a motorway for exceeding the 100kph speed limit by 50kph, according to the Swiss newspaper Blick.
Apparently Tilke was taken to the police station for no less than two hours before they realised that their speedy prey was one of the leading figures behind Bahrain's annual Grand Prix.
He was then released without sanction.
