Lewis Hamilton has admitted that he briefly considered walking away from Mercedes before the season’s conclusion after a poor Sao Paulo GP. The seven-time world champion, who will leave Mercedes for Ferrari at the end of the season, spoke about his turbulent 2023-24 campaign and his readiness to close his 12-year chapter with Mercedes.

After crossing the Sau Paulo finish, Hamilton made cryptic remarks over the radio, hinting at an emotional farewell to the team. He told Sky Sports that he “could happily go and take a holiday.”
