David Coulthard believes Lewis Hamilton will now be ‘bored’ of talk surrounding last month’s controversial Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as the Mercedes driver’s future remains uncertain. ‘The big decision was when he committed to that new two-year contract midway through last season, I don’t think Abu Dhabi changes anything. And I think he was very emotional, as anyone would be under the circumstances. Brown, who is in regular contact with Mercedes chief Wolff, said: ‘I wouldn’t be shocked if Lewis stopped and I don’t think anyone should take for granted that he is coming back. I don’t think we should rule retirement out or make light of it. ‘I personally think Lewis still has a burning desire to race, that will ultimately drive his decision, and I think he will be back.
