All🅰 20 F1 drivers went to dinner together in a rare show of camaraderie and Hamilton has now explained how it came together.
“I think it was really important so that’s why I asked the group in Meಌxico whether they would be open to all doing a dinner to gi🔜ve Seb a farewell,” he said.
“We haven’t had a dinner since years ago in China [2016], it was the best eveninꦗg. Everyone was laughing so much, great stories, Seb is a great leader.
“He made a great speech, 🌼really trying to hand down some of the experiences he’s had over these years. Particularly to the 🌟younger guys because they’re the future.

“There’s also just a lot we can do as the GPDA a🐲s a united group. We have a responsibility, we’ve got a great platform, each and every one of us collectively.
“It’s encouraging…collectively there’s a lot of things F1 needs to push forward on action-wise. Says we’re doing a lot of things and sustainability but really really maki🐬ng sure we’re pushing through and doing our absolute best and maybe GPDA can have a role in that.”
Hamilt🐽on posted on social media: “We’ve come a long way as drivers and continue to grow as men.
“Despite whatever may happen on the track we grow and become ▨b♊etter each day.
“Us all coming together to ce💟lebrate life and Seb’s amazing career in F𝔍1 is truly a night I’ll never forget.”
