"No, he's not going to miss the race... He's going to be a day late. The doctor advised him to cancel the earlier flight so he missed a press conference today", a spokesperson confirmed to Reuters news agency.

Hamilton himself took to social media to explain the silence from himself on the medium, citing that he had been suffering from a fever. Whether this will impact his performance in the coming weekends Brazilian Grand Prix remains to be seen.
