The team remains the favorites to dominate in the upcoming season and era as well. But thanks to the last season finale at Abu Dhabi, the team is facing a challenge. While “both” the drivers are poised to give media interviews on the car launch event on 18th February 2022, the team has refrained from naming the drivers in case there’s a change in lineups.
The team’s social media has been actively posting Hamilton’s pictures but has refused to deny the retirement rumors. With no confirmation from the team or driver himself, the clouds of uncertainty still hover Hamilton’s return to the sport.
But with this post, however, the team has shown that they stand by their champion driver. The team would be looking forward to their driver returning on the grid and helping the young George Russell, who’ll be making his debut for the Silver Arrows.
How did Hamilton’s retirement rumors sprout?
