Preparations for the new season are underway. Teams are largely finishing testing new engines. Many teams know who will drive their cars, which could not be said for Mercedes because it seems that Lewis Hamilton will not be competing next season.

According to Bernie Ecclestone, after talking to Lewis Hamilton’s father, his impression is that Lewis will not be competing next season. “I don’t think he’ll be back next season. His disappointment was too big after last race. Now, tied for seven titles with Michael Schumacher, it’s the perfect time for him to fulfill his dream and be a fashion entrepreneur. Also with George Russell he would have an ambitious team-mate, and could lose a lot next season, ”Ecclestone said.

Does this mean the end of the career of one of the most successful Formula 1 drivers? It is still unknown. The new season starts in a few months, so hopefully we’ll enjoy Lewis ’driving skills for at least another season.
