Lewis Hamilton‘s final race in Mercedes silver is just days away, and the emotions are already running high.
The seven-time world champion took to social media with a heartfelt message to the team he’s called home for the past 11 years.
“It’s really the end of an era,” Hamilton wrote, as he prepares to swap the Silver Arrows for Ferrari red in 2024.
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this weekend will mark his last dance with Mercedes – a partnership that’s brought him six world championships and rewrote the F1 record books.
It’s a bittersweet moment for the British racing legend. While the allure of Ferrari proved impossible to resist, Hamilton’s legacy at Mercedes is pretty much unmatched in the sport’s history.
The bombshell announcement of his move to Ferrari came early this year, sending shockwaves through the F1 world. Now, as the final race approaches, it’s becoming very real for everyone involved.
The Mercedes-Hamilton combo has been one of F1’s most successful partnerships ever. Together they’ve racked up 82 wins and 78 pole positions since 2013.
Now all eyes are on Abu Dhabi, where Hamilton will zip up that Mercedes race suit one last time.
