F1 fans in meltdown over ‘that Lewis Hamilton bit’ as trailer for iconic Netflix series Drive to Survive released
FORMULA ONE fans have been sent into meltdown after seeing “that Lewis Hamilton’s bit” in the trailer for a docu-series.
Netflix is set to release the new season of its iconic series Drive to Survive, which covers the motorsport.
Hamilton, 39, only appeared in the trailer for the sixth season for a mere snapshot.
In his scene, he is having a conversation with Mercedes principal Toto Wolff over his future on the team.
Hamilton is heard saying to Wolff that he can stay in the team for “20 more years”.
However, Hamilton then ends his remark by saying, “I can’t”, hinting at his future exit.
The seven-time World Champion will join Ferrari for the 2025 season after signing a two-year deal with the Italian team.
It will spell the end of Hamilton’s 12-year association with Mercedes, in which he won six of his seven titles.
Despite the quick moment of the trailer, it has proved to be the most explosive for fans as they flooded the comment section on social media.
