How often have we seen the greatest drivers of the sport slowly fade into apparent obscurity? In Formula 1, you’re only ever as good as your last race. For Lewis Hamilton, his last ever race win came at the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. And since then, many have chosen to write him off. Ever since then, the Mercedes driver has been waiting and working hard behind the scenes to turn the Silver Arrows’ fortunes around and with them, his own.

But the doubt is surely creeping in. If not completely in the 7x champion’s mind, then at least in the minds of his loyal fanbase. Lewis Hamilton’s current Mercedes contract is set to expire at the end of this season. And still, there has not been any concrete detail or word out about an extension. That being said, his recent activity on his social media account over at Instagram has sparked renewed interest in his future plans in this sport.
