Lewis Hamilton says he is “ready to give it everything” after recovering “physically” and “spiritually” from the Abu Dhabi controversy.
The seven-times world champion is in Bahrain to begin his challenge for a record-breaking eighth title. But for a while, there were serious doubts over whether he would continue in the sport after being robbed of glory in the final race of last season.
Yet on the eve of the championship opener, Hamilton repeated his determination to be even stronger after the crushing disappointment of Abu Dhabi. “So much has gone into getting back and being here both physically and spiritually,” he posted on social media. “Me and the team put in a lot of hard work and long hours and we are going to give it everything for you guys. Keep the positivity coming.”
