Will we see Lewis Hamilton in 2022?

Hamilton was unfortunately denied a record-breaking 8th World Championship in 2021. The Mercedes driver was overtaken by rival Verstappen in the final lap, which gave away the lead and the Championship. The safety car deployment, however, was a matter of controversy after a crash in the final laps.

An FIA enquiry has been ongoing to decide ways to improve racing in the future. Hamilton, reportedly is set to make a decision on his future based on the enquiry. The Brit was also given a knighthood in the New Year Honours list in 2021, having previously been awarded the MBE in 2008 after winning his first title.

In 2022, his new teammate will be George Russell who replaces Valterri Bottas after 5 years. The youngster joined Williams to make an all-English pairing at Mercedes. The team will go head-to-head with Red Bull once again this year. The competition between the two rivals boiled down to the final lap in 2021.

We hope to see more racing and more action from Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton again in 2022.
