Lewis Hamilton is one of the most famous Formula 1 drivers and the world knows him as a racing talent. He is fearless, full of extraordinary energy, redoubtable on track, and wise off track. All these characteristics have made him a seven-time world champion and one of the most renowned drivers in F1 history. However, he has also faced several obstacles in his way to achieving this greatness.


There were rumors flying around that the Brit will not return to the sport after a devastating end to the 2021 season. Nevertheless, he bounced back with the hope of achieving an unparalleled 8th championship. The W13, however, has not performed up to expectations. Due to this Hamilton’s hopes of an 8th title are slipping away.

The 37-year-old is going through a rough patch as well. A Q1 elimination in Jeddah followed by a Q2 exit in Imola has raised criticism. But Hamilton can rely on one thing – his fans. After a tough start to the race week, his fans have sent him a message of support and hope.
