The stewards have reprimanded Mercedes for Lewis Hamilton's late appearance at the press conference for the British Grand Prix on Thursday. According to his Mercedes, the driver was not on time as he had a busy schedule ahead of his home race. It was also very busy in the paddock, causing Hamilton to reach the press room with a delay.

The stewards accepted the team's explanation, a representative of which was due to report on Friday morning. They felt it was appropriate not to give Hamilton a slap on the wrist, but to do so to his team. The stewards indicated that the next time there will actually be a penalty.
