Amid conflicting narratives on whether Lewis Hamilton has been unhappy with Formula One and might consider an early-retirement, the seven-time world champion turned to Instagram to downplay the speculations saying he would be one to decide when his “masterpiece” would be finished. In point of fact, latest media speculation on Hamilton’s career comes over the heels of a struggling beginning of 2022 F1 season for the Briton, while the 37-year-old has been found to be struggling for pace in comparison to his teammate George Russel.

On top of that, as the Briton has been struggling for forms with only one podium finish this season, Russel ranked better than Hamilton for three straight races in a row.
