The driver of a Formula 1 racing machine, arrested after 6 years of highway appearances. The police could only identify now
The driver of a Formula 1 racing car was finally arrested by the Czech police, after he escaped his fingers in 2019, and the investigation could not continue. The red bolt, decorated with the Ferrari logo, was followed to a property in the village of Buk, about 60 km southwest of Prague, after the last appearance was reported to the authorities.

On Sunday morning, a video surprised the car driving on the D4 highway and stopping to feed gasoline, writes BBC News.
The driver, a 51 -year -old man, was arrested at his home and detained after he initially refused to descend from the vehicle.
The video images looked like the man standing in the car in front of the garage, arguing with the police and claiming that they violated his private property. Eventually, he gave up and was taken to the police station for the interrogation, still wearing the red pilot and helmet suit. Upon arrival at the section, the driver refused to answer questions.
The man's son told the local press that the family's home was surrounded by dozens of police cars and a helicopter, qualifying the reaction as disproportionate “to an alleged violation of the traffic rules”. He explained that the police noticed the towing of a formula 1 car, which they claimed would have been traveling at excessive speed – an incident about which the family said.
The police have tried to talk to the ghost driver since 2019, when images and videos with the car began to appear. At that time, the owner denied that he would ever drive on the freeway. Due to the fact that the driver wore a helmet, he could not be identified, and the investigation could not continue.
Although the vehicle was frequently described as a Formula 1 Ferrari, the car.CZ website states that it is actually a Dallara GP2/08, a race machine developed for the GP2 series, qualification for Formula 1, subsequently renamed the FIA Formula 2 championship.
The owner now risks a fine for driving a vehicle on the highway without headlights, indicators or registration plates, and his driving license could be suspended by law enforcement.
