In what is F1’s latest twist, some fans are suggesting that Hamilton makes his return to the sport through the medium of a diss track — a rap song that attacks a person or entity’s character. The fan’s tweet read:
While the original post didn’t mention the topic of the hypothetical diss track, other fans have speculated it would be about race director Michael Masi and the FIA. Hamilton and the team are still disappointed due to the Briton’s final lap loss to Verstappen at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in December. Masi’s mismanagement of the safety car restart has led to the Briton’s disappearance from social media and public appearances, sparking rumors of his retirement.
One fan hilariously replied to the original tweet, suggesting that other key Mercedes members take on the roles of background vocals and ‘hype’ men. The fan said:
Karun Chandhok feels Lewis Hamilton’s retirement would be “extremely damaging” to the sport’s reputation
F1 pundit Karun Chandhok believes Lewis Hamilton’s premature retirement would further damage the already tarnished reputation of F1. Many fans and critics have lashed out at the FIA for its mismanagement of the 2021 season finale in Abu Dhabi, claiming the sport has lost its integrity. If the Briton were to retire from the sport, it would show that the sport’s most decorated driver has lost faith in the very sport that gave him everything he has. Chandhok told Express UK:
Neither Mercedes nor Lewis Hamilton confirmed the Briton’s status in 2022. Multiple sources, however, claim the 37-year-old’s return is contingent on the results of the ongoing FIA inquiry, which is to become public just ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix in March. Only time will tell if the sport’s favorite star will be able to reconcile the immense loss in his mind and return in 2022.
