Hamilton won't talk to media until hearings are over

We've only had one reaction from Lewis Hamilton after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and that will remain the case for the time being. The Mercedes driver will not speak to the media until the two hearings at the FIA are over.

Hamilton was also absent from the press conference earlier, with Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz in attendance. However, the seven-time world champion was said to have sat down with the stewards with a Mercedes representative at the time to discuss the protests that had been made.

The Brit did congratulate Verstappen already at the podium interviews."Big congratulations to Max and his team." 

Hamilton is still waiting

Am told Hamilton won't be speaking to the media until after the two protest hearings. Second one just started #F1 #AbuDhabiGP
