Lewis Hamilton responds to fans' concerns after 'giving up' post on social media

Lewis Hamilton has reassured fans that he hasn’t “given up”. Hamilton sparked worldwide fears yesterday when he wrote a message on Instagram saying he considered “giving up on everything.” Hamilton quickly deleted the message which was uploaded his Instagram story. Some supporters labelled him a hypocrite for driving petrol cars and jetting around the world for his job. Mercedes have since spoken to Germany’s SID news agency to explain where their main driver is coming from. “I think he was referring to environmental issues and not anything related to racing,” a spokesperson said. “However, I’m not sure.” The 34-year-old, who is on the verge of winning a sixth Formula One world title, urged his fans to go vegan and said he feels like "giving up on everything" due to his concerns about the environment. Hamilton has now responded to fans' fears and insisted he is still fighting. "Good morning World. I just wanted to send a message of positivity to you, I hope your weeks [sic] been amazing and wishing you a great weekend," he wrote on Instagram. "I appreciate all the positive vibes you've sent my way. I haven't given up, I'm still right here fighting! #stillirise." Join our F1 Group on Facebook.
