Since the dramatic season finale for Hamilton in Abu Dhabi, Hamilton has not been heard from. The Brit took a break from social media and seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. It was even doubted whether Hamilton would continue in Formula 1. With his short message on Twitter and Instagram, he does not provide any clarity about this, but it is a first signal that he is again looking forward to the future.

Will he continue?

Most followers in the F1 paddock assume that Hamilton will be behind the wheel of the Mercedes this season. This year he will be aiming to conquer his eighth world title.
