Hamilton steals Spielberg's premiere seat

Lewis Hamilton was left embarrassed at the Cannes Film Festival after he stole Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones premiere seat, The Mirror reports.

Formula One star Hamilton, arriving late to the screening, accidentally took Spielberg's chair after the director had got up to leave.

"It was hilarious. When Spielberg returned he found the cheeky chappy reclined in his seat. He was so embarrassed," a guest is quoted as saying.

Hamilton is rumoured to be dating X Factor judge Dannii Minogue.
