Inside Lewis Hamilton's emotional Mercedes goodbye: Formula One legend bids final farewell to team after incredible 12-year spell... as Brit reveals how he is preparing for switch to Ferrari

Lewis Hamilton has paid his final farewell to his now-former Mercedes team as he prepares to join Ferrari ahead of the next Formula One season.

His move was a major subplot to the season, which finished in Abu Dhabi last weekend, where the 39-year-old made his way through the grid to finish fourth, just ahead of team-mate George Russell.

Joined on stage by team principal Toto Wolff and Russell, Hamilton took to the microphone to thank those in attendance at Mercedes HQ to give his thanks for all the hard work of the behind-the-scenes team throughout his time with the manufacturer.
