Lewis Hamilton talks about the anguish post-2021 F1 Abu Dhabi GP In the Vanity Fair interview, Lewis Hamilton reflected on the moments after the 2021 F1 Abu Dhabi GP ended and he lost the title. Reminiscing about the aftermath, he revealed how he struggled with the idea of wanting to continue in the sport. Hamilton said: “You can see it’s starting to unfold in a way. My worst fears came alive. I thought ‘no way’ they’re going to take this away from me. Absolutely not. That’s not going to happen. Right? I can’t describe in words how I felt. I can remember sitting there in my car, in disbelief.” “Then I realized I had to take off my seat belt, get out of there, get out of the car, find strength. I didn’t have it. It was one of my toughest moments in a long, long time. I knew what had happened, I knew certain decisions had been made and why. I knew something was not right. I wondered if I wanted to continue.” The Vanity Fair interview is surely an interesting read and has stirred up quite a storm in the last few days.
