MERCEDES have finally confirmed Lewis Hamilton’s return after an off-season rife with retirement rumours. And as Mercedes gear up for their new car launch this Friday, they have provided fans with Hamilton content on social media. This season is set to be Hamilton’s 16th in Formula 1, having started with McLaren in 2007. Mercedes have also posted content featuring the Brit’s new team-mate – compatriot George Russell. But what really got fans’ attention was the appearance of Hamilton towards the end of the clip. All F1 teams are set to be in Barcelona next week as they test their new cars at an untelevised event.
