Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says he hopes Lewis Hamilton returns to the Formula 1 grid for the 2022 season, with the seven-time world champion’s future still in doubt.
Hamilton has not spoken publicly since the aftermath of the controversial Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, in which FIA Race Director Michael Masi’s unprecedented decision to allow only some lapped cars to un-lap themselves behind the safety car in the latter stages effectively gifted the championship to Max Verstappen and cost Hamilton and an eighth title which would have seen him surpass Michael Schumacher.
