London: F1 champion Lewis Hamilton missed Novak Djokovic’s Wimbledon final triumph after being barred from the Royal Box after a dress code row. Hamilton was to watch the final from the exclusive enclosure at the All England Club.

But the driver was unable to watch Djokovic win his third Wimbledon title because he wasn’t wearing a shirt and tie. A Wimbledon spokesman responded to reports that Hamilton had been turned away by saying: "He did come but he has gone. We are not commenting further."
