Sao Paulo Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton has admitted that he briefly considered walking away from Mercedes before the season's conclusion following a disappointing Sao Paulo Grand Prix. The seven-time world champion, who will leave Mercedes for Ferrari at the end of the season, spoke candidly about the frustrations of a turbulent 2023-24 campaign and his readiness to close his 12-year chapter with the Silver Arrows.

After crossing the finish line in Sao Paulo, Hamilton made cryptic remarks over the team radio, hinting at an emotional farewell to the team. Post-race, he told Sky Sports that he "could happily go and take a holiday," fueling speculation about his immediate future.

Mercedes later downplayed his comments, attributing them to farewells directed at team members who would not attend the final three races in Las Vegas, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. However, Hamilton revealed during a press conference in Las Vegas that his feelings at the time were genuine.
