Lewis Hamilton is back

The new Formula 1 season is about to begin. Many teams have announced the names of their drivers, only the Mercedes team did not know for sure who would be behind the wheel. The mystery has been solved since Lewis Hamilton confirmed his participation in the 2022 season.

Although Bernie Ecclestone recently hinted that Hamilton could end his career as a Formula 1 driver, this will not happen. Ecclestone’s statement was based on his impression after talking to Hamilton’s father: “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. “

Did Lewis Hamilton end his career as a Formula 1 driver?

In a dramatic finale last year, Hamilton lost the title to Max Verstappen in Abu Dhabi. After that he decided to take a break and didn’t want to talk about whether it was his last season in Formula 1 or not. However, on his twitter profile he posted “I’ve been gone. Now I’m back!” thus confirming his participation in the certainly exciting new Formula 1 season.
