MERCEDES BOSS Toto Wolff feels that their star driver Lewis Hamilton may walk away from the team and not return for 2022 after the dramatic conclusion to Sunday's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. This comes after Mercedes dropped their appeal over Max Verstappen's win in the desert.
The result has divided fans of the sport as Micheal Masi, the F1 director allowed the Dutchman to battle Lewis Hamilton in a final-lap showdown. Verstappen passed Hamilton to win his first World title.

"I would very much hope Lewis continues racing because he is the greatest driver of all time. As a racer his heart will say I need to continue because he's at the peak of his game. said Wolff
But we have to overcome the pain that was caused upon him on Sunday. He is a man with clear values.
I would very much hope the two of us and the rest of the team we can work through the events, but he will never overcome the pain and the distress that was caused on Sunday".
