F1: Lewis Hamilton ends Mercedes era with cheers, tears and a rousing drive
The HinduLewis Hamilton ended his glorious 12-year spell at Mercedes with cheers and tears on Sunday after finishing a rousing fourth from starting 16th in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. “When he said ‘hammer time’ I did notice, in the moment, that it was the last time I’m going to hear that,” said an emotional Hamilton afterwards. I wanted to finish on as much as a high and give every ounce of me to the team as they have given to me all these years.” Before spinning ‘donuts’ in his car to the cheers of a chanting crowd and posing for photographs with individual team members, Hamilton had spoken eloquently of his feelings and his love for the ‘silver arrows’ team in radio exchanges. Bonnington said: “Stellar drive today, bud, it’s been a pleasure all the way.” Hamilton replied: “The pleasure’s been mine. All the best.” Bonnington added: “It’s been an amazing journey, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of this chapter of your life, and best of luck for the next one.” In a final comment, team boss Toto Wolff said: “We love you too, and you’re always going to be part of the family.
