Amid rumours about Lewis Hamilton’s future in Formula 1, the series’ CEO Stefano Domenicali told Auto Bild that he hopes the Briton’s duel with Max Verstappen will continue in 2022.
“Of course I very much hope the fight between them continues,” Domenicali said.
“In 2021, the interest was huge thanks to Max and Lewis. But I also hope that other drivers can get involved in the fight for the title. We currently have so many young and talented drivers – an extremely strong field.

“So the focus right now is whether the new cars will allow more drivers to fight for victories and the title.”
The Italian then emphasized that Hamilton is an important part of Formula 1.
“First of all, he faces an incredible task – to become the first driver with eight world championship titles. His attention will be focused on that. He also actively opposes racism.
“It is important that he feels comfortable in Formula 1 – this is his place. This is where we and the fans want to see him,” Domenicali concluded.
