After Max Verstappen’s Dominance Triggers Lewis Hamilton’s Retirement Talks, Roger Federer Delivers Hard Hitting Message of Support to F1 Legend

According to a legend, greatness always recognizes greatness. Remember when Niki Lauda did everything in his power to sign Lewis Hamilton back in 2013? Hamilton went on to win 6 championships with the Silver Arrows. Now that the time is hard and Max Verstappen is dominating, tennis legend Roger Federer has come forward with a special message for Lewis Hamilton as the chase for his ultimate dream continues.

Max Verstappen has been the dominant force in F1 since 2022. Lewis Hamilton has been chasing his 8th world title ever since the tragedy of Abu Dhabi in 2021. However, his ambition looks to fade as Mercedes fails to provide a competitive car. The Briton is in the last year of his contract with Mercedes and rumors of his retirement have been going around for a while now.

Nevertheless, Lewis Hamilton is not one who gives up and the Tennis legend has a special message for the F1 legend. With the Grand Prix being held in Miami this weekend, many stars including Roger Federer were seen in the Paddock. This would be the third time Roger Federer has visited a GP. As the tennis legend talked about the dominance of Red Bull and Max Verstappen, he still wished for Lewis Hamilton to have a great season and a year. 

According to a video uploaded by Sky Sports on Twitter, Roger Federer said, “This is my third time, yes. I’ve been to Abu Dhabi. The big race was when Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg at that time. And then I did Barcelona qualifying last year which I really enjoyed as well. And now here.”

When asked about Max Verstappen’s dominance, he said, “Seems like it, seems like he’s obviously got an amazing car and is a great driver too. I still hope that Lewis is gonna have a great race here and hopefully another good season. It’s been amazing, I’ve also got to meet Lewis on many occasions.”
