After taking the internet by storm with one single social media post, Sir Lewis Hamilton continued his comeback by showing support to a dear friend of his. Hamilton, who had been on a social media exile ever since the Abu Dhabi weekend of 2021, posted a story of pop star Rihanna.
The global icon, who recently shared the news of her pregnancy with her boyfriend ASAP Rocky on social media, received support from the Mercedes driver.
Hamilton posted a story on his Instagram account in which he added Riri’s post and added the text, “Love this.”

Lewis Hamilton can expect a similar car in the coming season as 2021
Now that the fog over his continuity in F1 is more or less clear, Lewis Hamilton must’ve started preparing for the coming 2022 season. As is the case every season, the Mercedes W13 will be expected to be the fastest.
However, in a recent video, Mike Elliott, the technical director of Mercedes described the differences between the 2021 and the 2022 cars. “The overall performance of the new cars is probably not going to be very different from the old [ones],” he said.

Elliott explained the car to be slightly heavier. With the addition of the E10 fuel, there will be a change in the performance of the PU, but only slightly. As for aerodynamics, they’re expected to be different as well.
The Mercedes fan further added that until they test and develop the W13, they won’t get a clear picture of how it’s going to perform, and how they can squeeze the most out of it.

“But overall, I suspect the performance will be relatively similar to last year,” Elliott added.
