Rumors Hamilton could miss Brazil GP (Update)
The new triple world champion cancelled a scheduled press conference at a hotel in the south of Sao Paulo on Wednesday, citing "personal reasons".
Subsequent reports indicated Hamilton is not well, and Mercedes confirmed that it had to "switch some sponsor activities around" because of his late arrival.
But as for the suggestion the Briton might miss the Interlagos race, the team said that is "Not true".
"Lewis is arriving a little later than planned," Mercedes said on Twitter, "but (it's) nothing more than that."

(GMM) There are rumors Lewis Hamilton could sit out this weekend's Brazilian grand prix.
Correspondents reporting for Globo from Sao Paulo, the scene of the penultimate round of the 2015 season, say the Briton cancelled a scheduled press conference in the south of the city on Wednesday.
The Mercedes team said it was for "personal reasons", but the event's Brazilian counterparts were quoted as saying they were "surprised" by the cancellation and unsure it could be rescheduled.
Another local publication, UOL's Glamurama, reported the "sad news" that Hamilton "will not come to Brazil because he is in poor health".
Hamilton, 30, wrapped up his second consecutive drivers' world championship late last month in Austin, Texas.
Mercedes' official reserve driver is new DTM champion Pascal Wehrlein.
