Formula 1: Hamilton has not responded to messages from the FIA ​​President whether he will continue

The – many unfounded – series of Lewis Hamilton, who left Formula 1 after the events in Abu Dhabi, is holding up well, as the new President of the FIA ​​said “I sent him messages, but he’s not 100% ready to reply at the moment.”

However, Mohamed Ben Sulajem, who succeeded Jean Todt as President of the International Automobile Federation on December 17, said he was optimistic that Hamilton would finally decide to continue the sport in 2022. We remind you that there are still two years until the end of 2023.

“I sent him messages”, Sulagham said of the English driver “but he’s not 100% ready to answer right now. We don’t blame him. “I understand his position as a driver, obviously he’s on a different level.”, he continued.

On Sunday (2/1), Mercedes left an indirect hint on their social media posts that Hamilton will stay in the new season and Sulaghem is optimistic about this: “I do not think so [ότι θα αποχωρήσει], these are rumors, he did not say something like that and I am convinced that it will not come to that. Lewis is an important part of it F1“.

Ben Sulajem also said that a thorough analysis of the exact events at the Abu Dhabi GP was being carried out and that he himself would study the files carefully. “My first concern is to see the entire Abu Dhabi file. I cannot judge anyone (ss: regarding the absence of Hamilton at the presentation of their championships SON) before I know the exact dates. “But at the end of the day we are all human and there is stress and pressure.”

The Qatar-born new FIA president concluded: “Personally, I believe that everything will turn out fine in the end. You can’t think of the past. “There is a lot to think about, we are the ones integrating the future.”
