Witness the End of an Era - Lewis Hamilton's Last Mercedes Race

Introduction to the Final Race

Lewis Hamilton's journey with Mercedes has been nothing short of legendary. Spanning over the years, he has achieved six out of his seven F1 championships with this team. The 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will bring this chapter to a close.This final race is not just another event on the calendar; it's a symbolic moment that will be etched in the history of Formula 1. Hamilton's presence on the track has always been a force to be reckoned with, and his departure from Mercedes is a significant milestone.

Reflections from Nico Rosberg

Nico Rosberg, one of Hamilton's former teammates, shared his emotional thoughts on Hamilton's time with Mercedes. "For me, it's truly emotional to watch. I witnessed it up close," he told Sky Sports.He emphasized the greatness of their partnership, stating, "It's the greatest partnership in Formula 1 history, between a driver and a team. The fact that it's coming to an end is crazy. He has been with the Mercedes family for almost 30 years."Rosberg gave an example of Hamilton's extraordinary driving skills. "How was it? He possesses the greatest natural talent that the sport has ever seen. It's simply unbelievable. There were numerous occasions when we had the same car. We'd go out, come back in, look at the data, and see what he had done. It was 'wow, that's not even human!' And I was a decent driver myself! But there were so many insane moments."Rosberg also won his sole F1 title in 2016 and was Hamilton's teammate during two of his championship-winning seasons. He praised Hamilton's ability to build his life around success. "It's also remarkable how he managed to do that. Many talented drivers can win one championship, but to achieve seven, you need to have a whole life under control and focused on racing. He has managed to do this through the ups and downs. It wasn't easy with his background. It's a crazy world, but he did it fantastically."

Unwavering Determination of Lewis Hamilton

Unlike some other legendary drivers, Hamilton has never taken a break and returned to F1. Sky Sports' Martin Brundle highlighted this. "Lewis is there when the big moments arrive," he said. "That's the difference between the greats like Lewis and Nico, and the good ones like I was in an F1 car. They bring their A-game every time, every day. Lewis has been relentless. Many drivers take a break - Alain Prost, Niki Lauda, Fernando Alonso. But Lewis has just stayed on it! He turns 40 in January, yet he still finds the motivation to get in the gym, get on the simulator, and keep working..."

The Struggle on the Grid

Hamilton's final F1 grand prix in a Mercedes might be a challenging one as he lines up from 16th on the grid. Toto Wolff was left frustrated, insisting it was "inexcusable" that the team gave Hamilton a car that could only qualify in 18th. But on Sunday, he will drive the Mercedes for the final time, leaving behind a legacy that will be remembered for years to come.
