Fans were anxious that — despite matching Michael
Schumacher’s record seven world titles with a brilliant run in Turkey last
month — the British 35-year-old may not be able to give his campaign a fitting finish
as the curtain comes down on 2020 in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
Following a dominating victory in the Bahrain Grand Prix —
the next stop along from Turkey — Hamilton complained of feeing ill and was
showing mild symptoms of the virus.
A positive COVID-19 test meant he was forced into isolation
and had to miss the Sakhir GP.
However, the man many now regard as the world’s greatest F1
driver will be back in the cockpit at Yas Marina Circuit as he looks to smash
more records in a season like no other.
