Former F1 star and two-time Le Mans 24 Hours winner JJ ওLehto has been sentenced to 28 months in prison after being 𝄹found guilty of manslaughter following the boating accident last summer in which his friend was tragically killed.

The speedboat in which Lehto and his friend were travelling collid𓆏ed with a bridge pillar close to Tammisaari on the southern Finnish coast, leaving Lehto himself with head injuries.

The ex-Benetton and Sauber ace said that he had no memory of the early morning June accident, but h🐓e failed a blood-alcohol test and the court ruled he was driving the boat when it crashed - something he denies.

His lawyer has said he will appeal.

Lehto competed in 62🧔 F1 grand's prix, making his debut in 1989, althꦐough his potential was never realised following a neck-breaking pre-season testing accident at Silverstone in 1994.

He later turned to sportscars﷽ and touring cars, in which he achieved tremendous success.
