Yes scheduled flights for his personal trips to the US and back as I understand it, but plenty of private options around Europe.
For the US scheduled flights are indeed not a major issue. The airports have procedures and routes for getting VIP's to/from the plane with zero intrusion from the public and media, and he can board first and be straight in to a private room. If that sort of room isn't available when/where he needs to fly, you just know that the fall back option will be to charter a private plane for the journey. Which as said, he can share the cost of with Toto and the other seniors if that makes sense.With today's planes on the major routes offering suites, and higher speed than many private planes available for charter - it could be a better option even before considering cost. Also, whats the betting they can offer free transit if he does board the plane with a wave to the press... I assume that's why some top celebrities are sometimes seen going through the airport and boarding a plane - they clearly have the option to not be seen if they desire.

Did Lewis give an interview after the race if so what was the problem with his car?
Both Mercs were unable to deal with the heat as well as others and had to have the engines turned down and to do some coasting. So were not able to fight much.Aka Geoffrey 321

I was half expecting to come on here and the usual trolls blaming Lewis for Max's move on Charles to win today's gp.
I wouldn’t blame Hamilton for it but to be fair that wouldn’t be an unreasonable position to take as Max will have seen Hamilton do exactly the same time and time again and have people calling it great, skilled, fair racing and how the driver on the outside should concede the corner as the guy up the inside has won the corner so can claim whatever line he likes.RB Will said:

"to be fair" Oh Yeah!! I knew it was Lewis's fault as soon as it happened. He deliberately went slowly and coasted so Max could have a go at LeClerc. I think Lewis would have done a much cleaner move but good he was an influence in the way Max drives..

I'm pretty sure the only time i've seen HAM miss the apex & do it, was at the wet start of Austin '15 to Nico ...both arrived at that first corner with no front grip (both complaining on the radio of the warm up lap iirc) & if they had touched, i'd have expected the stewards to take a long look (although back in the days, Charlie tended to give a lot of leeway on the first lap/ corner)Torquey said:
I didn't catch much of Goodwood this weekend but am I right thinking that Bottas was there driving the Mercedes? And Hamilton was too busy to make another UK appearance?
He was making a TV special (In the UK) with Martin Brundle to try and save the Silverstone GP. So take that as you will.
