Team denies that 7-time world champion, who released a cryptic radio message after the Brazilian GP, will be absent from the final 3 races.

Lewis Hamilton insists his Mercedes car during the Brazilian Grand Prix was his “worst ride ever” as the seven-time F1 world champion finished 10th in Sao Paulo. Starting 14th on the grid, the seven-time F1 world champion struggled for grip on the wet Interlagos track and dropped back early on.

Lewis Hamilton may have competed in his final race for Mercedes after audio from his team radio at the conclusion of the Brazilian Grand Prix emerged where he appeared to say goodbye to his colleagues, despite there still being three races remaining in the F1 season.
