Why Hamilton was contemplating RETIREMENT? The 37 year old champion from Britain believes that he was robbed of his record 8th F1 Title due to biases in Abu Dhabi.

- Hamilton was a sitting duck and passed by the Dutchman, who won the race and the title – plunging the sport into controversy.
What did Lewis Hamilton do post the ABU DHABI FIASCO? According to Hamilton, he completely unplugged himself from the sport after Abu Dhabi.
He said: “It was obviously a difficult time for me to be honest. I just unplugged. I switched off.
“I think that firstly, one side of it is I deserve to be able to switch off at the end of the year anyway.
“I had my family around me, which was a rare occasion for us all to be together, and I just focused on being present with them.
“Obviously it took time to digest what had happened, which is still difficult to fully understand everything.
“But what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, so I put my focus into training, getting healthy and enjoying the time off.”
