Hamilton turns 37 as F1 fans wait for the silence to end

The Mercedes driver was less than a lap away from a record eighth title in Abu Dhabi on December 12 when he was passed by Red Bull rival Max Verstappen after race director Michael Masi changed the safety car procedure.

Hamilton did not speak to journalists after being knighted at Windsor Castle on December 15 and failed to show for the governing FIA's prize-giving in Paris a day later, risking punishment since turning up is mandatory for the top three in the championship. At the end of 2017 Hamilton, or his media team, also wiped his Instagram and Twitter accounts after critics condemned comments he made over Christmas about his young nephew wearing a pink dress.

“I would very much hope Lewis continues racing because he is the greatest driver of all time,” added the Austrian. “As a racer his heart will say 'I need to continue' because he's at the peak of his game.
