Pelé: death of the King turns one year old and pays tribute

At the end of the year, Lewis Hamilton enjoyed the holidays a lot Formula 1but returned to active duty to participate in an event at the Mercedes. However, he did not have the presence of his partner George Russell. Sick, the pilot was not present and saw the Brit playing with the suit. When remembering the test sessions of F1the seven-time champion revealed that he has already invented some certificates not to participate.

I was wondering about this because, in the past, I’ve given this justification for missing some test days, just because I don’t like test days. When I heard that he (Russell) was sick, I was like: ‘Ah, he got ahead of me, he’s already on another level’“, he joked Hamilton during the event. It is worth noting that English was actually missing from the 2015, 2016 and 2017 tests.

WILL HAMILTON RETIRE?

Always very sincere, Lewis Hamilton opened his heart when talking about the season of Formula 1. Far from what he expected, the pilot admitted that he thought about retiring this year. However, he acknowledged that he still loves being on the track and competing. But the seven-time world champion made an important reflection on the criticism and praise he received throughout 2023.

I’m at a stage in my life where I can’t win. If I win a race, it’s like: ‘Oh, he’s a seven-time world champion, he has 103 victories’. And if I don’t do well, there is criticism. I only have what to lose at this stage of life. So there was definitely a period where I wondered if I wanted to continue going through this. But I still love running, I love being in the car“, assessed Hamilton.

When you have difficult seasons like this, there are always times when you ask yourself, ‘Is it me or the car? Do I still have that thing? Or have I missed it?’. When the magic happens, everything works, the car and you, it’s extraordinary. That’s what you’re looking for. I’m only human. If anyone says they don’t think these things, they are in denial. We are all human“, continued the seven-time world champion.
