Lewis Hamilton
has unfollowed everyone including his new team Ferrari and even his pet dog Roscoe just days before the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. The move has surprised many fans as the seven-time world champion is set to race at the Imola circuit for the first time in Ferrari colours.
This isn’t the first time Hamilton has done something like this. After his controversial 2021 Formula 1 title loss to Max Verstappen in Abu Dhabi, he disappeared from Instagram for months before returning with a fresh post. However, this time the reason behind his digital move isn’t fully clear.
Hamilton has had a difficult start to his first season with Ferrari. Apart from a sprint race win in Shanghai, he has struggled with the car and hasn’t finished higher than fifth in a main race, which he achieved in Bahrain. In the Miami Grand Prix, he took the eighth position after a tough battle with teammate Charles Leclerc.
