“I've just been focusing on recovering and trying to get back in shape so I can get back in the car and race in the final race in Abu Dhabi.”
The final race of the season, the Abdu Dhabi Grand Prix, is scheduled for this weekend, and Hamilton is hoping that he will be able to make it back in time for the race. The seven-time world champion should be allowed to take the cockpit should he return a negative result in the coming days.
Hamilton went on to say how the love and support he has been getting has played a pivotal role in his road to recovery:
“I woke up today feeling great and got my first workout in, so I just wanted to send you guys a message of positivity and let you know that I'm OK. I want to thank every single one of you for sending the amazing messages and videos.
“I really, really appreciate it and I hope that wherever you are you are staying positive and fighting through whatever it is that you are facing. I hope that I can get back in the car soon and, yeah, I'm sending you guys love.”
Hamilton is currently at the top of the 2020 standings with 332 points, and is well on his way to his eighth world championship.
