A vet's wife has condemned a motor racing driver once tipped as a future Lewis Hamilton after he caused a head-on road smash which left so badly injured she was unable to attend her own father's funeral.
Louise Gunstone, 52, needed surgery on her spine and neck to save her life and prevent paralysis after Jack Hayes-Robert, 21, sped onto the wrong side of the road in his Skoda Fabia and ploughed into her Citroen C4.
Mr Hayes-Robert went public about his competitive go-kart racing in his local newspaper and vowed to go into Formula 1 to 'beat Lewis Hamilton or Nico Rosberg' later claimed the accident was a 'genuine error.
