“Hamilton away immediately”, the bomb that unleashes the storm in F1

Hamilton, the update from a few hours ago could cause a real earthquake in F1: bomb dropped, there’s no going back.

At first it was feared that it was an employee of the Mercedes team. It didn’t take long, however, for this suspicion to fall and, on the other hand, for the belief that it could be a fan a bit, let’s say, “mischievous”. What is certain is that whoever did it made a big deal and set up a gigantic case.

It all began when, last week, on the same email accounts where the alleged files had arrived Horner case, a new letter has arrived. The sender said he was a Mercedes employee and was certain that the team was trying to sabotage Lewis Hamilton. In the same email there was also talk, using highly denigrating words, of George Russell.

The car manufacturer, we were saying, immediately ruled out that the sender is an internal member, but so far attempts to trace the IP address and unmask the author of the letter in question have been to no avail. Hence the decision to pass the case on to Policein the hope that the authorities will be able to get to the bottom of what happened.

Hamilton, chaos in F1: the letter and that warning, earthquake coming

Taking advantage of the content of the letter, in any case, the journalist who through the Daily Mail gave news of the same, he seized the opportunity and suggested that Hamilton leave Mercedes immediately.

“I didn’t see a such negative body language by a driver since 2007 – he wrote Jonathan McEvoy – from the press conference following the spat between Alonso and Hamilton in Hungary”. “We knew that between Mercedes and Hamilton it would never end well. The team would have felt slighted and the pilot would have succumbed to his natural inclination towards paranoia. The only way out of this is for Hamilton to stop immediatelytaking a break until the end of the season.”

And he should also, we finally read in the Daily Mail, “give voice to the feelings expressed by his supporters, or condemn them openly, regardless of where the sender comes from”. He should express himself, in a nutshell, on the alleged sabotage, although he has said, in the last few hours, that he was not aware of what happened.
