May 8 (GMM) Lewis Hamilton left onlookers bewildered on Thursday as he hung from a wire amid the backdrop of a huge Trojan horse on a Turkish theatre stage.

As reported, the McLaren driver was making a guest appearance at 'Troya'; an historical theatre show by a local folkdance troupe, before moving on to Istanbul to prepare for this weekend's grand prix.

But rather than donning the historic garb of Troya's actors, the 23-year-old was decked out in his sponsor-laden formula one overalls and swung around the stage attached to a wire.

British newspaper The Times' F1 correspondent Ed Gorman watched Hamilton's antics and described it as "an extremely odd occasion".

A columnist for the publication then wrote: "The horse Hamilton should be worrying about is the prancing one of Ferrari".

A reader, meanwhile, wrote on the Times' website: "He is acting like a plonker. I can't imagine Schumacher or Senna debasing themselves with such a stunt."
