Lewis looked like an advertising board next to 2 racers. There was initial talk of Fernando refusing to wear it at the USGP because he was angry at the team; but there's no reason to think that at the British GP. If it's so important to McLaren it must surely be their responsibility to make the drivers wear them, and where Fernando doesn't object to doing PR stuff (and wears the tag heur watches and stuff before press conf) I'm sure he wouldn't mind it. So either it is compulsory but they just don't want to push Fernando into anything he doesn't want to do, or it isn't compulsory which then says a lot about Fernando and Lewis as racers - one doesn't see it as much of a priority just after a race, and the other has been "brought up" in PR-town that its one of those things he instinctively remembers to stick to.
This is neither a defence or criticism of either driver - for any of the more paranoid amongst you!
