Lewis Hamilton has talked about his ‘worst fears coming alive’ when reflecting on the events of the 2021 F1 title-decider
and what went through his mind as he sat in his Mercedes cockpit after the chequered flag.
“You see things start to unfold,” Hamilton said. “and my worst fears came alive. I was like, there’s no way they’re going to cheat me out of this. There’s no way. That won’t happen. Surely not.”“I don’t know if I can really put into words the feeling that I had,” he replies. “I do remember just sitting there just in disbelief. And realizing I’ve got to undo my belts, I’ve got to get out of there, I’ve got to climb out of this thing, I’ve got to find the strength. I had no strength.
“I knew what had happened. I knew what decisions had been made and why. Yes, I knew that something wasn’t right.” Hamilton’s sportsmanship afterwards was admirable, while there were also touching scenes with his father Anthony, comforting him. Reflecting on this moment with his father in Abu Dhabi, Hamilton said: “He embraced me, and I think he was like, ‘I want you to know how proud I am of you.’ Having your father embrace you in that way is one of the most profound things I’ve ever…” Hamilton added.
