Ever since the dramatic Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton hasn’t been active on social media. There is a lot of speculation regarding his future in the sport as well. However, the team principal of Red Bull, Christian Horner, doesn’t believe it’s his business to get involved in Lewis’s decision of whether or not to continue in F1.

The 7-time world champion is certainly disappointed, unable to clinch his eighth world title in F1. Many within the racing community feel that Hamilton was “robbed” of a potential world championship. Even though Horner wishes to see Lewis return to the grid in 2022, he doesn’t think it’s his place to interfere with Hamilton’s choice.
