Lewis Hamilton’s “if this is the last time I get to drive…” radio message after the Sao Paulo Grand Prix caused some to think he might be leaving Mercedes before the end of the 2024 season.
After a disastrous Sao Paulo Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton sent out a cryptic radio message to his team.
“That was a disastrous weekend, lads,” Lewis said.
“Worst car ever. Thanks for trying and hats off to the mechanics at the pit stop. If this is the last time I get to drive, I’ll be gutted that it didn’t go great.
“Still, I’m grateful,” the Briton concluded.

This caused some fans to believe he might be exiting the team before the end of the 2024 season.
However, Sky Sports F1 has since reported that a source close to Mercedes has informed them that such gossip is not true.
The source added that Lewis will finish the season behind the wheel of the W15, and then say goodbye after the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
