I am an extreme  sports nut, i have been following F1 all my life, today was the strangest grand prix i have ever watched, something is not sitting right with Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton. I have followed Lewis Hamilton ever since he raced remote controlled cars. Birmingham Wheels BMX track was an international track that had a practice track in the vicinity, during a race weekend, remote control events would take place on the practice track and when ever a remote controlled car race and a BMX race would take place at the same time, i would go and watch, and of course notice Lewis Hamilton. I met Lewis's Farther and Brother while Lewis was in a trance racing, it was clear to see that he was transfixed on the notion of of being the greatest he could be.

The last race of the season and Hamilton is off with covid, there was no mention with his welfare from the commentators, there was no message from Hamilton 'i will be ok' or what ever, his replacement 'Russel' was picked to take Hamilton's place from no where, Hamilton has not signed with Mercedes for 2021, Russel is rumoured to take Hamilton's place next year, Botas is staying with Mercedes, So where is Hamilton going?

There is an air of trepidation that sits with me over Hamilton's future in F1, i come form a family of racers, BMX, Formula One Go Karts, Formula One Stock cars, Mini Stocks, Banger Racing and Moto X, and its easy for me to get emotionally involved with extreme sport racing. Unlike my family, i think i was the only one who took part not caring if i won or not, i was so busy having fun and away from the abuse from my father that i was just happy.

As much as i loathed my farther, i was very lucky to be given the opportunity to race BMX;s and Karts as a kid, we travelled the world in a converted coach, taking part in National Championships European Championships and World Championships, during my entire time at junior school i never went to school on a Monday as we would always be driving home from a race meeting, bitter sweet.
