I don't think Lewis, himself, is at all concerned about what the media says. We have learnt that it makes no difference if you say anything or you don't. If someone wears their heart on their sleeve I'll not bash them for it.
I'm probably going to get pilloried for this...but in the past Hamilton has been accused of being a corporate robot for reading from a script.
When he actually says what he thinks he also gets criticised for it.
If he says nothing he gets accused of being aloof, ignorant, etc.
It's my opinion that no matter what Hamilton does, some will find fault with it
