Hamilton throws ‘hissy fit’ after being banned from Wimbledon

Lewis Hamilton pole-axed

Lewis Hamilton was pole-axed by Wimbledon’s strict dress code after turning up at the Royal Box without a tie.

The Formula One champion was said to have arrived late at the All England Club and without having dressed appropriately.

He posted a moody picture of himself on Instagram captioned “Wimbledon" showing him indoors silhouetted against the grass courts at SW19 on the other side of the windows.

The All England Club would not comment on reports that he was shown the red flag as the men’s final between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer got underway.

But a source said: “Lewis turned up an hour late and wasn’t wearing a tie.

“He was told he would need to put one on to enter the box but he threw a bit of hissy fit, which lasted a couple of minutes, and then left. There is a strict dress code and the staff manning the box had no choice, he was asked not to enter the box." Daily Record
