Lewis in "a corner"

Lewis Hamilton has been served bu Lions Gate Films for infringing copyright with the term "Nobody puts baby in a corner".

The outburst came during an altercation with Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa in a Budapest toilet block.

The quote, said by Patrick Swayze at the climax of the 1987 'Dirty Dancing' film starring Swayze and Jennifer Grey, has achieved a cult-like status, marketed and often repeated in films and TV shows for 20 years. Lionsgate, a unit of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., seeks to prevent Lewis from selling merchandise containing the phrase, as well unspecified statutory and actual damages, treble damages and punitive damages.
