What made Lewis Hamilton consider retirement from F1?
Lewis Hamilton was silent since the controversial final in Abu Dhabi in which he lost his chance to win his eighth world championship title. Due to a controversial decision made by Michael Masi, Hamilton lost to Verstappen who was with a fresh pair of tires, unlike Hamilton. Since then, Hamilton had maintained complete public silence and this silence of his also raised speculations that he will retire from the sport.
Hamilton’s team Mercedes was unhappy with the results and they appealed for justice. It was rejected by stewards although Mercedes provided notice to support their appeal. Micheal Massi has faced a lot of backlash because of his judgment. F1 fans have signed many petitions for a fair re-judgment. According to a few sources Mercedes had signed a deal with FIA, to suspend Massi.
However, all of these things didn’t eventually lead to any change in the final decision and hence, it was assumed that Hamilton lost complete faith on F1’s governing body.
