"I don’t know: I saw Jackie Stewart this morning, you know, looking fit and healthy and well in the lift. Some people, as I walked into the paddock, some elderly individuals. It’s a


concern, I think, for the people here. It’s quite a big circus that’s come here. So it’s definitely concerning for me. So, no, is your answer." Asked why he thought the race was still


due to go ahead, Hamilton added: "Cash is king. Honestly I don’t know. I can’t really add much more too it. "I don’t feel like I should shy away from the fact of my opinion. The


fact is we are here and I just urge everyone to be as careful as you can be. Touching doors and surfaces, and I hope everyone’s got hand sanitisers. And, really for the fans, I really hope


they’re taking precautions. "I was walking through and seeing just everything going ahead as normal, like it’s a normal day – but it’s… I really don’t think it is. I just hope all the


fans stay safe. I really hope we go through this weekend and we don’t see any fatalities, or things that come along in the future."
