Wikipedia Vandal caught!

The Wikipedia vandal responsible for making "degrading" alterations to Lewis Hamilton's Wikipedia profile has been revealed.

Originally believed to be a Spanish Mercedes representative, Interpol focused their resources onto the McLaren camp itself. Mercedes Motorsport Head, Norbert Haug would not name the culprit but identified the means of identification Interpol used to isolate the vandal.

"He had a very unusual style", explained Haug. "Instead of typing his alterations, he wrote directly onto the computer screen with a ball-point pen - we suspect to avoid electronic surveillance.. He was eventually caught re-editing a particularly long section; being forced to run off the computer screen, onto the pit-garage floor and onto Lewis's helmet - which he was wearing at the time".
