Cheers: “Hamilton has many reasons to leave”

Lewis Hamilton’s silence does nothing to change the reputation of the end of Formula 1, which, as the most successful driver in its history, will lead to a shocking decision to leave the track immediately after being frustrated with how he was denied the eighth championship. Record of his career.

There are still five weeks until the start of winter testing and nine for the first GP in 2022 and the Briton has not publicly commented on the doubts expressed by the director of Mercedes F1 – Toto Wolf – about what has to do with the presence or not of Lewis in 2022.

Four-time F1 champion Allen Prost, who also abruptly left after splitting up with Ferrari in late 1991, gave weight to the ongoing series, saying: “It’s hard to put yourself in his shoes, he’s taken a very big psychological blow“.

The Frenchman, who returned in 1993 after a year of absence to take his fourth title with Williams-Renault, added in an interview with the French newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche: “It would be very sad not to be here this year. He has many reasons to stop and move on. It’s 50-50.

I want to stay optimistic because he has yet to win his eighth championship, while with the new technical regulations we might have three teams at the top and five or six drivers fighting for the title. This is a challenge that Hamilton may find attractive“.
