Lewis Hamilton amuses himself during Japanese GP press conference

F1 News – Lewis Hamilton was forced to defend himself on Twitter after having another moan in the build-up to the Japanese Grand Prix, with pre-race press conferences in the British driver’s firing line this time.

Hamilton looked uninterested during Thursday’s media duties but found a way to beat the boredom as he made use of Snapchat’s ‘bunny rabbit filter’ to entertain himself.

Hamilton, who had to retire 15 laps from the end of Sunday’s race in Malaysia, took to the social media platform to share the amusing snaps of himself and other drivers with the caption ‘this s*** is killing me.’

Hamilton also took a video of Carlos Sainz, sitting behind him, before adding a fake fox’s ears and nose to the Spaniard’s face.

With the press conference, which is aired live on television, still ongoing, Hamilton then showed the videos to Alonso and Sainz who each shared a smile.

Asked what was so amusing, Hamilton replied: ‘It’s quite funny. Just some snaps of us drivers. We’ve been doing this [format of press conferences] a long, long time and it’s the same. Just got to keep adding new things to it.’
