In his story, Lewis wrote“Sometimes I feel so alone. If you feel the same, please know that it’s ok, you’re going to get through this!”

He further added, “You are a unicorn, there is nobody like you and you have so much power and purpose on this earth, don’t give up. Keep fighting. I’m right here with you. Sending you a hug, love and light.”

Lewis has been enduring a difficult season with Mercedes. Furthermore, he is below George Russell in the driver’s standings. Hamilton has never finished below a teammate ever since he lost the championship to Nico Rosberg in 2016.
