Hamilton invites father to British GP

Lewis Hamilton's father has not yet accepted an invitation to attend his first race since their professional split.

Anthony Hamilton was the McLaren driver's ever-present manager for his first three seasons in formula one, but 25-year-old Hamilton told his father he wanted to go it alone in 2010 and beyond.

Hamilton Snr has therefore stayed away from every race of this season, with Lewis recently revealing they are only now putting their personal relationship back together.

British newspapers reveal that Hamilton has invited his family, including his father, to Silverstone this weekend.
