F1’s beady-eyed social media fan base have been at it again reading into Lewis Hamilton’s activity far too much.
F1’s passionate social media followers have been overly analyzing Lewis Hamilton’s recent actions once again, particularly after his frank assessment of his performance at Ferrari during the Hungarian GP weekend. Speculations arose about Hamilton potentially leaving Ferrari before 2026 or even retiring from F1 altogether due to his critical self-evaluation.
Coincidentally, Hamilton’s introspective comments aligned with a teased announcement on his social media surrounding his non-alcoholic drinks brand ‘Almave,’ causing widespread anticipation among fans.
Despite expectations of a major announcement, Hamilton only unveiled the latest addition to his Almave line, ‘Almave Humo,’ disappointing some fans who were caught off guard by what they thought would be a retirement announcement.
The revealing of ‘Almave Humo’ led to mixed reactions among fans, with some relieved that Hamilton wasn’t retiring, while others critiqued the marketing stunt.
Looking ahead, one can hope that if Hamilton decides to retire from F1, he will follow Sebastian Vettel’s example of a candid video announcement or face a more subtle exit, such as Ferrari not responding to him over team radio, signaling the end of his illustrious career in the sport.
