I was just watching a video on formula1.com and there was a notable absence :-( https://www.formula1.com/en/video/2017/1..._induction.html"There was one notable absentee on Monday, however, as Lewis Hamilton skipped the Paris ceremony to attend the Fashion Awards 2017 at London's Royal Albert Hall on Monday night..."

Reminds me of something that James Hunt would have done. I can’t think of two drivers that are more different.

Reminds me of something that James Hunt would have done. I can’t think of two drivers that are more different. The similarity is that both of them do/did what they want away from the car. No driver could get away with what James Hunt did now (apart from anything they wouldn't be allowed near the car due to minimal amount of blood in alcohol stream) but the ability to drive despite enjoying life is common. James Hunt had plenty of people not liking his lifestyle (Murray Walker included) when racing just as Lewis Hamilton has. For me, as racing drivers it is what they do in the car that matters, I don't really care what they do away from the track.

Hamilton is not a rebel outsider out of the car, he's a corporate shill, like the rest of them.
Away from the track (as opposed to simply the car), his choice of corporate enslavement is very much more his own than most drivers. Hamilton understands his enormous value to the sport, which gives him a huge amount of freedom compared to most.
