Lewis Hamilton makes ‘family’ remark during Mercedes farewell tour
While Nico Rosberg has showered huge praise on Lewis Hamilton for carrying Mercedes, the former is currently on his farewell tour. He recently visited the PETRONAS base in Kaula Lampur and interacted with the 1000-strong workforce there.

We’ve achieved so much more than we ever thought were possible. These 12 years are something I will never forget, and, through the highs and the lows, it is always felt that we are a family.
