The Briton, 31, who begins his title defence at the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday, posted videos on Snapchat of him travelling on a motorway.

It is illegal to use phones whilst driving in New Zealand.

Police reviewed the incident but will not be taking further action after citing a lack of "sufficient evidence".

"Auckland City Police will be taking no further action in relation to recent media publicity about Lewis Hamilton and his motorcycle journey in Auckland," a police spokesperson said.

"The video footage available does not provide us with sufficient enough evidence that an offence has occurred."

It is not the first time three-time world champion Hamilton has been involved in driving incidents.

I honestly think no other driver would've done that.
