Hamilton did go to the US between the Spanish Grand Prix and the tyre test, but it was apparently for a sponsor event that had presumably been arranged long before, so it doesn't necessarily indicate he was unaware of the planned test when he made the trip.

The bit of controversy that did arise from it was the photo that he took in Orlando on the Tuesday and then tweeted on the Wednesday, after he'd returned to Spain.
