Lewis Hamilton's parting gesture to Mercedes staff confirmed in now-deleted post Lewis Hamilton sent a special gift to all 3,000 Mercedes employees after he left the team to join Ferrari following a hugely successful 12-year stint.

Artist Joel Clark also shared a piece of artwork Hamilton commissioned him to produce titled 'An Ode to Senna' which depicts the Brit waving the Brazilian flag after winning the 2021 Sao Paolo Grand Prix.

"My only remit was that I should focus on the car rather than Lewis, and so I chose to paint an image from Monaco 2019, just a few days after Niki Lauda passed and the team ran a red halo to remember Niki.

Hamilton won six of his seven world titles during his time with Mercedes and the Brit commissioned artwork which he gifted to his former colleagues after his departure.

He also included a video of him showing off the piece and said: "It is with huge honour and stratospheric disbelief that I can reveal to you my Lewis Hamilton commission.
