Lewis Hamilton is set to be reunited with his father this weekend at Silverstone as the pair continue to rebuild their fragile relationship.
Anthony Hamilton, who had previously attended all his son's races, has not been to a grand prix this season after being sacked by Lewis as his manager shortly before the start of the campaign.
But Lewis expects him to be cheering him on at the British Grand Prix on Sunday.
"I think he's coming, yeah - I've invited him. It will be good that he's there," he said in The Sun.
"I've got grandstand tickets so I said you can choose whether you want to be in the paddock or the grandstand.
"I said he should go into the paddock but then he should go and experience something different because he's always watched it either from TV or in the paddock."
The pair did not speak for several weeks after Lewis' shock decision and their relationship remains fragile.
However, the 25-year-old, who leads the Championship standings by six points, nevertheless believes it was the right decision.
He added: "Everything is not 100% but we're definitely continuing to build on the relationship and things are moving slowly.
"We're letting things take their time and move naturally rather than forcing things.
"He's always sending me positive messages before the race. But it has given me space. I've just grown.
"Bit by bit I've focused on things, working in certain areas that I didn't necessarily understand or know about before.
"Sometimes it takes longer but it's going well."
