Lewis Hamilton says he is going to minimize his appearances at news meetings over what he says is an absence of regard from the media.

The move takes after feedback he got for his conduct in a news meeting.

In it, Hamilton posted pictures of himself and a kindred driver on Snapchat with bunny confronts and gave insignificant answers.

He said it was expected as "a super happy thing" and what was composed was "more insolent".

Accordingly, he said: "Shockingly the choice I will take lamentably influences the individuals who have been super-steady, so that is the reason I am stating it with the most extreme regard.

"Be that as it may, I don't generally anticipate staying here numerous more times for these sort of things. So my expressions of remorse and I trust you folks appreciate whatever remains of your weekend."

He then left the news meeting.

His comments came in his standard news meeting in the Mercedes zone in the enclosure at the Japanese Grand Prix in the wake of qualifying.
