Luxury cars seized in RTD crackdown over expired road tax
SHAH ALAM: Four motorists, including a woman from China, were forced to return home using e-hailing services after their luxury vehicles were seized by the Road Transport Department (RTD) last night. The vehicles were impounded after they were found to have been driven with expired road tax during a five-hour special operation, dubbed "Ops Pengarah," conducted by the Selangor RTD. The operation started at 8.30pm at the Kota Kemuning Toll Plaza along the Shah Alam Expressway (Kesas). The seizures began when personnel stopped a Mercedes-Benz S400 driven by a woman from China. Upon inspection, they found she was driving a vehicle without a valid road tax or insurance for over a year. The 41-year-old woman, who is married to a Malaysian, was also driving without a valid driver's licence. Personnel then detected another case involving a 25-year-old Malaysian man who explained that the Toyota Vellfire MPV he was driving had been purchased just three months ago. He said the luxury MPV was bought by his brother through a "sambung bayar" (loan takeover) arrangement with the original owner. The man said he had informed the original owner to renew the road tax, but the owner claimed he could not do so because of outstanding summonses. Both motorists were forced to take e-hailing rides home as RTD officers seized their vehicles. Meanwhile, RTD Selangor director Azrin Borhan revealed that from January to July this year, a total of 16,735 offences were recorded involving individuals driving without a valid licence. "Of that number, heavy vehicle drivers made up the largest group with 7,116 cases, followed by motorcyclists (6,596), car drivers (2,576), and public transport operators (447)," he said. "For the same period, there were also 25,338 road tax-related offences." It was recently revealed that some owners of high-powered luxury vehicles are allegedly choosing not to renew their road tax and insurance because the fines are cheaper.

Motor racing-Mercedes upbeat after binning suspension upgrade
FILE PHOTO: Formula One F1 - Hungarian Grand Prix - Hungaroring, Budapest, Hungary - August 3, 2025 Mercedes' George Russell in action during the race REUTERS/Bernadett Szabo/File Photo LONDON (Reuters) -Former champions Mercedes hope to be challenging for wins again when they return from Formula One's August break after binning a rear suspension upgrade that made the car slower. The upgrade was introduced at Imola in May after George Russell had finished in the top three in four of the first six races. The Briton finished only seventh in that Italian race and Mercedes dropped the upgrade for the next two rounds before bringing it back for Canada, a race Russell won. That proved misleading, and Russell struggled in the following four races until Mercedes reverted to the old package for Hungary last weekend and he finished third. Rookie teammate Kimi Antonelli was also back in the points at the Hungaroring, finishing 10th after three races without scoring. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said the upgrade would "be ending up in a bin somewhere. "We were misled a bit by the Montreal win... we came to the conclusion it needed to come off, it went off and the car's back to solid form," said the Austrian. Trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin said in a Hungarian GP debrief on Wednesday that the car was now easier to work with and the drivers more confident in attacking the corners. "If we make a new suspension, we're doing it to make the car go quicker... and clearly there's something that wasn't right," he added. "And it's not something that was dead obvious. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the issue in the first place." Shovlin said the learning would help Russell in his battle with Red Bull's Max Verstappen for third place overall behind the McLaren drivers, and Mercedes chasing second in the constructors'. "Budapest showed that we've got a good car when we land it in the right place," said Shovlin. "And then hopefully there'll be an opportunity to build on our tally of race wins. "We had a great time in Montreal. There's other circuits that are a bit more like that coming up over the remaining 10 races and hopefully we'll have a few more highlights."

Hamilton still battling speculation, this time self-inflicted
LONDON: Formula One's August break will be a welcome getaway for Lewis Hamilton after he triggered fresh speculation about his Ferrari future with self-critical and cryptic comments in Hungary at the weekend. The most successful Formula One driver of all time, with seven world championships and a record 105 wins, has had a tough start to his time at Maranello and has yet to stand on the podium in 14 races. The 40-year-old Briton has also been sending out conflicting messages, his season a roller-coaster of highs and lows – downbeat assessments and despondency followed by peaks of elation and hope. In Canada in June he assured reporters he was at Ferrari for the long term. "To everyone writing stories of me considering not racing – I literally only just started here with Ferrari," he said at the time. "There's no question where my head's at and what I'm working towards achieving with this team. So, there's zero doubts. Please stop making stuff up." At the Hungaroring last Saturday, after qualifying 12th, he described himself as "useless" and suggested Ferrari might want to replace him. Post-race, also 12th, Hamilton said there was a lot going on in the background – without explaining – and he looked forward to returning after the break – "hopefully." Current boss Fred Vasseur and former principal at Mercedes Toto Wolff saw that as just Hamilton being Hamilton, with the former saying the Briton was frustrated and not demotivated. Wolff said Hamilton had always worn his heart on his sleeve, beating himself up about his performances. With Mercedes in Brazil last year he hinted in a radio message that he might not finish the season, saying later that in the moment he had not wanted to continue. There are legitimate doubts about whether Hamilton can achieve what he wants – the unfinished business of a record eighth title – at Ferrari. He has not won a race for more than a year, not started on pole for more than two, and is enduring the worst podium drought of his stellar career with 16 successive races outside the top three. Sunday was his lowest career finish in Hungary, a circuit where he has triumphed a record eight times and taken nine poles. Teammate Charles Leclerc has been on the podium five times this season and started on pole on Sunday. The Briton won a Shanghai sprint from pole in March but has been out-qualified 10-4 by Leclerc and beaten 11-2 in races, with both disqualified in China. Last season, Hamilton was out-qualified 18-6 by Mercedes teammate George Russell and was beaten 15-9, although they ended up with two wins apiece. The rules are changing next year, the start also of a new engine era, and Hamilton has already said this season is all about settling in before a proper challenge in 2026. "Lewis has unfinished business in F1," said Wolff. "You ask me whether he has it, he definitely has it." Some others are questioning how much longer he should continue. "Sad to see Sir Lewis so downhearted. It's tough to know when it's time. Another year? It gets harder. Maybe a good holiday is needed?" commented 1996 champion and compatriot Damon Hill on X.
