Lewis Hamilton caused a stir with a cryptic radio message after the Brazilian GP. Just what did it mean?
Rumours emerged about Lewis Hamilton potentially leaving Mercedes earlier than expected after a mysterious radio message he delivered following the São Paulo Grand Prix. His performance over the weekend was disappointing, with Hamilton failing to advance in both the sprint and the grand prix, expressing frustration with his car’s performance. Despite finishing 10th in the race and salvaging a point, Hamilton criticized his car as the “worst ever,” leading to speculation about his departure from Mercedes before the season’s end. However, sources close to the team have dispelled these rumors, indicating that Hamilton will finish the current season with Mercedes before transitioning to Ferrari next year. The cryptic radio message may have been directed towards departing team members, rather than pointing towards an early exit from the team.
