Think the only poor show is that the event in London had been advertised for weeks as come see Lewis drive F1 car through London. Probably a lot of casual fans who have not seen his twitter update and will make a special trip only to be disappointed.

You sure it was advertised for weeks?

It looks like they announced it 2 days ago at best.

Who cares!

There's been times that he's been out partying and then turned up and smoked everyone - and then the press have said that his partying and downtime actually helps him.

Basically; no matter the result - there'll be people saying "see, told you so..."

think we can all forgive lewis for this one.

he misses an event that was announced a couple of days ago, on the eve of his home grand prix where he will be doing vast amounts of media events and interviews, when trying to close down sebastians lead.

cant win with you lot, if he went to the event and lost this weekend, you would all be slamming him for taking his eye off the ball and doing unnecessary events like London!

It wasn't advertised? Rumoured, but not announced?

Totally not true. Kept secret until 2 days ago.

The drivers and some others, knew about this a month ago....so unless he changed his mind, Mercedes would've known about his intentions not to attend and presumably has no concerns with this. One would assume Liberty were aware too...

biggrin

Mind you, I'm surprised he's not attending. The Royal Ballet School is literally just up the road

Only Fernando and Stoffel in attendance I think.

Car #6 is here. Presumably the incumbent WDC will be substituting for Lewis...

Was just thinking that quite funny how the simple things can be the best.

I'd take that as clearly something going on with Lewis/ Merc/ FOM ...he deliberately made a point about going on a holiday after Austria- which i thought was a bit odd at the time & he would clearly have known about the F1 Live event ...he's the only current driver not attending afaiaa

Yeah, how dare he have a life outside of F1. I mean, who does he think he is?

Who? He's not going to win another title.
