Yahoo! News - Taking Mum's Car for a Spin: "Tue Jul 8,10:21 AM ET
BERLIN (Reuters) - The 14-year-old sister of Formula One driver Heinz-Harald Frentzen took a joyride in her mother's car while her parents were watching Sunday's French Grand Prix.
Nicole-Nadine Frentzen was detained by police after she was caught driving the car with her 11-year-old sister and a 12-year-old friend as passengers, a Moenchengladbach police spokesman said.
'We got a call from a driver who saw the under-aged girl driving and a police car was dispatched to investigate,' the spokesman said Tuesday.
'She was stopped and faces charges of driving without a license. Thank God nothing happened.'
Her father, Heinrich-Harald Frentzen, picked up his daughter at the police station in the western German town.
He was quoted by Munich's Abendzeitung newspaper as saying: 'She was born to race and wants to get her license as fast as she can. On the go-kart track she's too much for the boys her age.'
Germans must be at least 18 to obtain a license. Frentzen, who drives for Sauber, finished 12th in the French race. "
