“Curtains for Him at Mercedes”: Lewis Hamilton’s Dejected Message Makes Fans Fear the Worst Amid Retirement Rumors

Published 03/18/2023, 3:46 PM EDT

Mercedes has cracked the code to finishing at underwhelming positions over and over again. The ingenuity of zero-side pods has not helped the cause of the man who finished inches away from his eighth title in the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP. Lewis Hamilton the man who conquered the first edition of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix starts from the eighth tomorrow. While it is still ahead of where he got booted out last year, is it still enough? A gloomy message from the man who has yet to renew his contract with the Silver Arrows has the fans apprehending the worse.

Toto Wolff has on record admitted that the memory from Jeddah last year has been nothing short of traumatic. Moreover, if we are talking about going on record and revealing things, the peaceful calm Hamilton is now running out of patience with the Silver Arrows as they didn’t listen to him despite him sacrificing himself last year for data collection.

Lewis Hamilton, in a post-Quali interview, told the media, “I don’t know, I’ll try to show up with a positive mindset and give it another shot.” The sheer disappointment in the tone and statements made by the 7x champion post the underwhelming qualifying which saw seven people from four different teams finish ahead of him, has left the fans wondering if this is it for the Brit.

Fans believe Lewis Hamilton has had enough of Mercedes blunders

The most successful partnership which is set to expire at the end of this year has not been making the ripples that it used to. While Toto Wolff is confident that the Briton will stay with them post this year’s campaign, the disappointing progress of the Brackley outfit has left someone as positive as Hamilton questioning things. The same is evident in his demeanor. Take a look at how F1 Twitter reacted to the man’s yet another underwhelming qualifying session.

Yup. With all due respect to Ham, i think it's curtains for him at Merc. He should gracefully retire and take up another role at Merc. This sentence alone screams that he's done with Merc and he's trying to motivate himself, but that ain't happening. He's not into it this yr🥺

He gave up on this car. He put his heart and soul into the project and people let him down.

Bro this doesn't sound good at all.. He literally looks so burnt out

When he said people in the team ignored his suggestions, I wonder what they were.
