Lewis Hamilton has come under fire after spending the majority of Thursdays pre-Japanese GP drivers press conference on his phone. The world champion appeared distracted and uninterested during the Suzuka press conference, taking pictures of himself as well as other drivers on mobile application Snapchat.Asked what he was doing on his phone by the media, the Brit, under pressure after falling 23 points behind team-mate Nico Rosberg, replied: Just some snaps of us drivers, its quite funny. Hey man, weve been doing this a long, long time and its the same each time. Weve got to keep adding new things to it.But Hamiltons antics werent well received by the British press, with the media accusing the 31-year-old of showing a lack of respect to Japanese fans.

I agree, the FIA press conference format is static, but you cant defend this, posted The Suns Ben Hunt.So apart from the lack of respect (which I dont expect people to get), when is it ok to swear on social media? Hardly good for the kids... Sky Sports F1 analyst Ted Kravitz says he does not understand Hamiltons behaviour The Times Kevin Eason, meanwhile, added: Think the world champion could have ditched the phone and concentrated a little harder for the benefit of the huge Japanese audience.Hamilton, however, responded to such remarks, claiming: Today was meant to be fun, not at all disrespectful. Some people take themselves too seriously. I had a blast, highlight of my day!Re press conference, its been the same for 10 years. Its not the media or mediator, its the format. Fans should be asking the questions!! Supporters of Hamilton have also defended the three-time champion, suggesting that his Snapchats were more entertaining than the press conference itself, as well as praising his fan interaction.And on whether questions from fans through social media would help breathe new life into the Thursday proceedings, Sky F1s Martin Brundle added: Some will be nervous of being unprepared but if questions are good and pertinent then absolutely why not, Hamilton lost ground in the Drivers Championship after his engine blow-out from the lead in Malaysia, and Mercedes have now confirmed that the cause of the fault was a bearing failure. At Suzuka, he will revert to the engine he used at the previous race in Singapore. Hamilton was distracted at the news conference in Japan as he took photos of the drivers Hamilton, who insisted he hasnt even thought about the Sepang race since, also dismissed fan conspiracy claims after posting a heartfelt message to his Mercedes team on Instagram.They [fans] can just go on my Instagram, I put all my feelings on there, he said.
