Abu Dhabi ¨C Lewis Hamilton raced for Mercedes one last time on Sunday, with Formula One¡¯s most successful partnership ending in a cloud of tire smoke, a radio love-in and a performance worthy of a seven-time world champion.
The 39-year-old Briton, who will be driving for Ferrari next season, arrived at Abu Dhabi¡¯s Yas Marina circuit dressed in red and bowed out with emotional farewells flooding the airwaves.
