Last night Lewis Hamilton posted on his Instagram that he had been in a road accident that involved light contact with a stationary vehicle.
He explained that no one was hurt during the incident, but he and his team thought it would be best to “rest at home and leave a day later.”
Speaking on Instagram, the 30-year-old had this to say: “Dear TeamLH, just wanted to let you know why things have been quiet on social media the past few days.”
“I’ve not been well with a fever, but I also had a road accident in Monaco on Monday night.”
“Whilst ultimately, it is nobody’s business, there are people knowing my position that will try to take advantage of the situation and make a quick buck.”
Hamilton has now arrived in Sao Paulo, and despite his illness, will be fit to race at the weekend.
“I am feeling better and am currently boarding the plane to Brazil. Can’t wait for the weekend in Brazil.” He said last night.
The Brit heads to Brazil having already won the World Championship but says he is keen on winning the Grand Prix as it would be a ‘salute’ to Ayrton Senna.
