Lewis Hamilton was withdrawn by Mercedes from Wednesday's press conference for the Monaco Grand Prix.
The world champion, 34, had been due to appear on stage in Monte Carlo alongside Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Red Bull driver Max Verstappen.
But following the death of Mercedes' non-executive chairman Niki Lauda, the Englishman was told by Formula One's governing body, the FIA, that he did not need to attend.
