Lewis Hamilton’s 12-year Mercedes affiliation comes to an end after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, as Formula 1 waves goodbye to one of its most iconic partnerships.
The Brit has achieved a drivers’ championship every other year on average and helped to create a lasting turbo-hybrid era dynasty.
Mercedes aren’t the unstoppable force that they used to be, and that may have influenced Hamilton in his decision to switch to Ferrari for 2025, but there’s hope they can yet return to the front.
Little Silver Arrows-related activities matter to the seven-time champion now, who after another dismal qualifying after being eliminated in Q1 in Abu Dhabi, will be starting to focus on 2025.
F1 fans stunned by Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes farewell outfit choice
Hamilton is synonymous within the Formula 1 paddock for his incredible style and outfit choices – he takes a keen interest in the fashion industry.
He has a good relationship with Tommy Hilfiger and has worked with other brands too, but his choice of outfit at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix has caused a particular stir on social media.
On his final race day as a Mercedes employee, he has decided to wear a Ferrari-themed all-red outfit, which fans believe is an indication of where his focus is turned to.
One fan was brunt in their response to the picture, saying that the Brit is “Not even trying to hide it!”
Another fan believes that the outfit is an indication of his thoughts on his current employment: “Red… what a statement! The man is so done with Mercedes.”
Fan claims Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari tenure starts ‘today’
The next response indicates that Hamilton’s time at Ferrari has started early, but of course, contractually, that is not possible.
“He said Ferrari starts TODAY,” they wrote.
And finally, the last response indicates that the seven-time champion has already moved on before even starting his final race for the Silver Arrows.
“Lewis is so done with Merc that he’s like lemme walk in my next team’s colours,” they said.
It’s a shame that his time with the team ends on a slightly sour note, but the lasting memories they have created together will be remembered for a long time.
Not to mention the torture of them dominating the sport for years, and leaving their rivals to stare at their rear wing for such a long time.
