Lewis Hamilton shone in red at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this past weekend where he delivered a confident statement.

The 2024 season finale at Yas Marina Circuit was Hamilton's final race for Mercedes ahead of his blockbuster switch to Ferrari, with the seven-time champion showing exactly what he can still offer.

After suffering a setback in qualifying on Saturday, Hamilton started the Abu Dhabi GP in P16, but after a fantastic drive, the British star finished up P4.

That ascent included a stunning late overtake on team-mate George Russell, too, ensuring he left the Silver Arrows on a high.

And, if his fashion choices were not enough, when speaking to British broadcaster Channel 4's team in Abu Dhabi, Hamilton issued a confident statement about the colour he is set to race in next year.

"I can't believe that I'm going to be in red next year," Hamilton told the Channel 4 presenters.

"It looks good on me so... the good thing is that hopefully I can make that work."
