Formula 1: Hamilton has not responded to messages from the FIA President whether he will continue
The new President of the FIA, Mohamed Ben Sulaghem, agrees with Lewis Hamilton that he sent him messages, but at the moment he is not 100% ready to answer “if he will continue safely. He remains optimistic of course”.
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.”

The season finale and Monaco’s failure will be shown. Where are the most overtakes in F1?
The Formula 1 2025 season was full of competition and transitions. Although fewer in number than last year and fans and drivers not always able to enjoy the action on track, there were still plenty of genuine overtakes.
On some routes there were very few, as expected. The fewest overtakes took place in Monaco; There were only four overtakes during the entire race. And most of them were at the season finale, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – 60th.
Below is the exact number of actual overtakes on each stage; this number does not take into account position changes on pit road during the first lap as the driver exits or exits the track. The chart only reflects actual overtaking on the motorway.

VIDEO. Mercedes leader at a loss for words because of Leclerc’s behavior
Mercedes driver George Russell received a rather unusual Christmas gift from Charles Leclerc as part of Secret Santa.
The Briton received a chart showing his overtakes at the Dutch Grand Prix, arguably one of the most exciting moments of the season.
After unwrapping the gift, Russell said: “Look at him. He’s such a nice guy. He can only overtake illegally, so that’s all he has going for him – taking people off the track. I’m speechless to be honest.”
When asked if he wanted to wish Leclerc a Merry Christmas, the British driver playfully added:
“He doesn’t deserve this. Maybe I’ll give him another photo of Kimi knocking him out of the race and remind him of what happened a few laps later. Thank you Charles. Thank you for nothing.”

There is no information that George Russell bought Charles Leclerc.😂
“It’s a very delicate piece. It means having a form that’s not legal. It means they’re unarmed… much better.” pic.twitter.com/O7MLLWdTtB
