Not really. The LH fans were quite rightly complaining of a lack of this type of interaction in London. It's what they wanted, it's what they've come to expect and now demand. Today, because he's happy, he's granted them an audience and they are pleased he's performing for them. "Dance monkey, dance."

I could not care one way or the other, but to think that Hamilton's lack of appearance in London went unnoticed or uncommented on by those attending the event is a mistake. It wasn't just the media, in fact the media were reporting what many of the attendees were saying at the time. The fans at London were disappointed about his no-show and criticised him for it, quite vociferously in places.
I think there is a phrase in that post that you may want to consider deleting.
Until you pointed it out, it didn't even cross my mind - like most probably.

What a pair of grumpy Finns.

Come on boys ,lighten up !

Saw quite a few Finland flags in the crowd, I wonder if flying here for a race is cheaper /easier than other European venues ?

The Hamilton doubters have reverted to hiding in their basement and throwing darts at a Hamilton dartboard.

Losers.

hehe

I was at Farm and wow; the energy was just electric; Hamilton is a true British sporting hero. A masterclass in driving; showed up the whole field. Bottas was great also and Max... just an awesome drive and battle against Vettel.

Lewis was in a one horse race today. Did a great job. Can't disagree with his performance.

Bottas also was great. He might just upset Hamilton and Vettel yet.

Would love to see Bottas as Champion biggrin

No complaints from me this weekend Lewis was on top form and gave the fans exactly what they wanted.
Too right - he was flawless, went out to get involved with the F1 fans who bought tickets for the actual race (not the moaners who went to the PR stunt in London and probably didn't know what F1 was until Wednesday).

OK, so he was late to the press chat, but I can't help thinking what he did was better for F1 overall than being on time for that!

I can understand Kimi looking a bit p*ssed off, but Valterri could at least have smiled - after all given who his team-mate is (and with his performance) he could probably have gone and joined in!

I think I said it before, 90% of those who pitched up for the free event in Trafalgar Square were not going to Silverstone. And I predicted he'd be cheered whenever he showed his face too. It's been the same every year since 2007. Ironically this is the first year I've missed attending the race since 2005.

+ 1 - must take a while to eat their words.

But then they do the "Yes but ...." replies - you even got DeltonaS and ash73 to break cover - good fishing!

I was sat in Woodcote B today and LH was applauded every lap.
Club was the same. Even in quali.

I know it was the British GP. But I was quite taken back by the number of people wearing Mercedes/Hamilton caps and clothing compared to every other manufacturer/driver.

It was the Lewis Hamilton show all weekend.

So did the redbull for several years.

What's your point?
I hope this 'Merc in free air' comment is tongue in cheek and I have a whoosh parrot coming. I don't particularly like Lewis Hamilton or at least the snippets of him I get to see. But are people really that embittered that they cannot appreciate a brilliant controlled drive when they see it? Watching F1 if you feel that way must be agonising, if I was you I think I'd give up.

It was the Hamilton show alright... and whilst Vettel et al moaned and groaned on the radio as per; we witnessed a masterclass... half a second to the whole field in quali.

Cmon deadslow, elusivejim and the rest of the troll brigade... admit the genius that is Hamitlon behind a wheel.

We'll all chomp on popcorn whilst we wait hehe

And to those saying his partying affects his driving... hang your head in shame! rofl

Interesting though that you can never compliment Lewis when he wins, but is THE ONLY driver to spit his dummy out when he loses....
