Hamilton is obviously nearing his retirement but I would have loved it if he raced for 2 or 3 years more as he is still on his peak form.
But we also have to think in his POV as everyone wants to retire while being the best.
So this teaser from Merc could mean that Kimi could return but once again, nothing is official now. All I can say is that we enjoy Hamilton racing as long as we have the privilege to do so.
I just read the article where they quoted
Wolff, and from his words it looked like Hamilton had already retired pending an official confirmation which is really very said if it turns out to be true. Lastly I can understand he feels betrayed due to what happened in the final race, but I believed that he could race for one more year win the title and then call it quits, but day by day it looks we won’t be seeing him again.
I would be very sad if what you are saying comes out to be true. Not only me, but I think thousands of other F1 fans would also be sad if this is true.
Hamilton still has at least 2 years left in him still racing on peak form. But from what it seems from the teasers and statement of Wolff, I think that his retirement is knocking at the door. I didn't want him to retire this early. I think it's highly unlikely, but I hope he changes his mind.
It really seems like Hamilton is going to retire, and Kimi would be a very good option for Mercedes for just one year and I personally would be very happy to see him for another year. For Mercedes it would probably also be a very good option to have a cool and very experienced driver at Russell's side, so there is no pressure to find a replacement and Kimi certainly doesn't have the ambition to push Russell out and get a long-term contract, for Russell it would also be good to have an experienced and honest driver at his side. For Kimi, he could show what he can in a competitive car in his last year.
This has to be one of the saddest news for every F1 fan. Hamilton is the greatest racer of all time and there's no denying that. But him retiring this early came as a shock to me I have to say.
But Kimi could be a good replacement for him if he comes to Merc and maybe he along with Russell would do really well as a duo as I think both of them might have the same mentality.
No way... I mean why make a big fuss out of it esp with how his season ended last year? If Hamilton really had retired I think we would’ve had an announcement without giving out any hints about it. Maybe that’s what they want us to think to get more attention before they finally unveil their car. Dunno... It seems like it’s a little too late for that. Who would replace him?
But then again if he really did retire and has yet to announce it, it would be a sad season for me for different reasons. Lolol. Since he’s gotten so good, I love hating the guy.
The feeling is mutual my friend. This guy just ages like fine wine- only getting better over time. But I don't get it if he had already retired, the official announcement would have been already here but it's not. From what I've heard from the rumors is that
Kimi might be replacing him if he actually retires. I don't know what to say as I have become blank at this news of him retiring.
