Lewis Hamilton is arguably one of the most popular F1 drivers on social media. With over 6.4 million followers on Twitter, the Briton is far ahead of the rest of the grid in terms of fan following.

While he trails Max Verstappen in this season’s driver’s championship, the Briton continues to engage with his adoring fans regularly. Ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix, the 36-year-old put out a tweet to thank his fans for their support.

Although the Briton won three out of the opening four races, he trails his Dutch rival by 18 points in the driver’s championship. To make things worse, Mercedes look to have no answers for Red Bull‘s rapid pace at the moment.

While the championship battle continues to intensify, Hamilton took some time out to reach out to his fans. To thank them for their continuous support, the Briton uploaded a collage of various tattoos on Twitter.

Can Hamilton bounce back in the Austrian Grand Prix?

The Briton finished a whopping 35 seconds behind Verstappen last weekend in the Styrian Grand Prix. If recent form is a major point of reference, Hamilton looks unlikely to mount a stiffer challenge this weekend.

However, the Silver Arrows provided an encouraging update earlier this week where they mentioned the current car will improve despite their focus towards the 2022 season.

Although these improvements may take time to work their magic, fans could see a more competitive Hamilton on July 4. In a season where the Briton looks to claim a record-breaking eighth championship, the odds seem stacked against him for the first time in a long time.
