Hamilton has stayed silent since the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix last year, with the FIA la🌳unching an investigation into how it dealt witꦛh the events under the Safety Car.

Earlier this month, the BBC and Sky Sports reported that🦹 Hamilton has yet to decide his future with the decision potentially comin🍌g down to the FIA’s inquiry.

Brown bel🔯ieves Hamilton will make a return to F1 as he goes in searchಌ of a record-breaking eighth world title in 2022.

“I would be shocked if he stopped so I don’t think anyone should tak✃e for granted he’s coming back, which my personal opinion is he’s going to,” Brown said.

“But I don’t think we should discount or not recognise his frustration, his anger. Maybe he hasn’t made a decision and maybe what he’s doing is taki🔥ng time to make that decision to make sure, because once that decision is made, that decision’s made.

“So 🤡I don’t think we should rule it out, or make light of it. I just personally think he still has a burning desire to racꦏe and that will ultimately drive his decision. But that’s just one man’s opinion.”

Bro🌞wn doesn’t think the events of Abu Dhabi will have an impact on Hamilton’s driving♓ as “he’s at the top of his game”.

“He’s a racing 🦩drivﷺer. He’s at the top of his game,” he added. “Sure, he’s very angry but racecar drivers want to race. I think he’s a fighter and he’ll want to come back and win an eighth championship. I don’t think he’s ready to retire.

“I don’t think he’s ready to hang it 🐠up. And I don’t think he’s going to let an incident put him into retirement.”
