Seven-time world champion could not ‘wait to get away’
First year without podium for Brit in Ferrari debut season
A despondent Lewis Hamilton said he could not wait to get away from Abu Dhabi after enduring what has been the worst season of his Formula One career. He finished in his lowest championship position of sixth place and is looking forward to the winter break and disconnecting from the sport as he attempts to reset and regroup.
In the final race of the season in he qualified in 16th place and finished in eighth, while the young British driver Lando Norris claimed his first world championship, the first Briton since Hamilton last did so in 2020.
“I can’t wait to get away from all this,” Hamilton said afterwards as he faced the media. “Every week, photoshoots and all that kind of stuff. That’s the thing I look forward to one day, not having to do it all.”
