A Ferrari owner was left red-faced after their £170,000 supercar span into the central reservation of the M1.

The driver of the 202mph Italian sports car, named Top Gear Car of the Year in 2009, is thought to have lost control on the motorway, which was said to be wet and slippery, near Wakefield.

West Yorkshire Police took photos of the badly damaged car, which can travel 0-60mph in less than 3.4 seconds, and uploaded them to Twitter to warn other drivers of the harardous conditions.
