Sir Lewis Hamilton is finally back to where he belongs. The seven-times world champion made his much-anticipated return to Brackley after weeks of disappearance. The team boss Toto Wolff never doubted the star’s return and has expressed his desire to hunt for victories together.
Lewis Hamilton has made his public appearance for the first time last week after passing from sight in December. The last-lap defeat at Abu Dhabi GP has made the former McLaren man go into social isolation for a long time. However, Hamilton has returned now and has returned stronger than ever, the fans believe. The entire Mercedes team is raring to go with Lewis and ‘hunt for victory.’
It's all smiles from @LewisHamilton and @GeorgeRussell63 at Silverstone 😁

Now as he’s back, fans are elated. So are the bosses at the Brackley-based team. Team principal Toto Wolff conveyed on their star driver’s massive return, “He is in love with the sport and we are ready to hunt for victories and hopefully the world championship. He is in the right mindset. Lewis is all about justice and sporting fairness. He needed time to reflect, he comes back strong, and is in good spirits.”
Time for redemption for the dethroned champion Lewis Hamilton?
The 37-year-old has made his public appearance ahead of the official car launch by Mercedes. The German team has unveiled their Challenger for 2022. Named F1 W13, the team has gone back to their silver livery from the black one. Hamilton attended the launch and was seen in full spirit.
