Lewis Hamilton misses racing, but tries to stay positive by stating that we can all learn from the current coronavirus situation. The Mercedes driver therefore sincerely hopes that society will improve.
"I miss racing every day," says Hamilton in a post on Instagram. Even for the British driver it's not what he's used to. "This is the first time since I was 8 that I haven’t started a season. When you live and breath something you love, when it’s gone there’s definitely a big void."
The seven-time world champion is trying to see the positive side of the situation. "Right now, we all have time in the world to reflect on life, our decisions, our goals, the people we have around us, our careers", he explains, adding, "Today, we see clearer skies all over the world, less animals being slaughtered for our pleasure simply because our demands are much lower and everyone staying in."
Hamilton appeals
Hamilton hopes that society will learn something from its present existence. "Let’s not come back the same as we went into this tough time, let’s come out of it with better knowledge of our world, changing our personal choices and habits. Let’s come out of this as a new us, a new reinvigorated you, fitter, healthier and more focused but above all, kinder, more generous and gracious and caring for our world and the people in it. I hope we all do."
