Most people probably take the news of a professional race care driver getting a speeding ticket at 4 times the limit the same way a fan of porn movies would take the news that a male porn star got hit with a paternity case - it's not exactly going to hurt his standing with the fans.

Excessive speeding with no other bad driving conduct and no accident raises the offence from simple speeding to reckless or careless driving. It gets him a fine and a license suspension. That's what would happen to you and me if we did the same thing, that's what will happen to him. He apologized. He'll pay his fine and sit out his suspension. Other than thinking it was equal parts irresponsible and funny that he didn't quite get a full four times the speed limit, I give it no more thought. It's really not much of an issue one way or another.
