Today, the Mercedes Petronas AMG F1 Team published new black and white photos on their Twitter account.

Is this a hint from the Mercedes team that Hamilton's career is coming to an end, if so who could replace him?
When this is the Ende, and why published Mercedes little bit later a picture from Kimi and Hamilton, a one year return from Kimi?

Hamilton is obviously nearing his retirement but I would have loved it if he raced for 2 or 3 years more as he is still on his peak form.

But we also have to think in his POV as everyone wants to retire while being the best.

So this teaser from Merc could mean that Kimi could return but once again, nothing is official now. All I can say is that we enjoy Hamilton racing as long as we have the privilege to do so.

I just read the article where they quoted Wolff, and from his words it looked like Hamilton had already retired pending an official confirmation which is really very said if it turns out to be true. Lastly I can understand he feels betrayed due to what happened in the final race, but I believed that he could race for one more year win the title and then call it quits, but day by day it looks we won’t be seeing him again.

It really seems like Hamilton is going to retire, and Kimi would be a very good option for Mercedes for just one year and I personally would be very happy to see him for another year. For Mercedes it would probably also be a very good option to have a cool and very experienced driver at Russell's side, so there is no pressure to find a replacement and Kimi certainly doesn't have the ambition to push Russell out and get a long-term contract, for Russell it would also be good to have an experienced and honest driver at his side. For Kimi, he could show what he can in a competitive car in his last year.
