Hamilton to miss F1 parade in London

Editor

Lewis Hamilton has confirmed that he will not be present at the live event in London on Wednesday evening as he is on a “two-day break”.

Thousands are expected as all 10 Formula 1 teams will take to the streets of Westminster in a demonstration run ahead of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone this weekend.

Three-time World Champion Hamilton, back on home soil, was expected to headline the event but he took to Twitter on Tuesday night to confirm his absence.

“To my loving fans, I can’t wait to see you in Silverstone,” Hamilton said. “Until then, I’m away on a two day break. God Bless you all. Love, Lewis.”

New owners Liberty Media, who are attempting to bring Formula 1 closer to the fans, were not available for comment on Hamilton’s puzzling absence, with a four-week break coming up at the end of the month.
