Lewis Hamilton arrived early in the press conference room and decided to lie down for a while. On his phone, he had Bob Marley's song 'Could you be Loved' playing loudly on his phone. Not much later, Max Verstappen came in and couldn't resist the comment: "He's clearly getting old...clearly getting a bit old. Get a massage."
