Fans claim Lewis Hamilton aware of W13's pace

While most fans just celebrated Lewis Hamilton's return to social media, one fan went as far as speculating that the Briton was smiling in his 'comeback' post because he was aware of the status of the highly awaited Mercedes W13.

The post sparked an inter-fan debate on Twitter regarding whether or not drivers were made aware of the statuses of their teams' upcoming cars. One fan wrote:

“Well, of course he’d know fully the progress Mercedes’ have made and based on previous performance he’d have no reason to doubt it. There’s obviously no way he can know how others cars are looking, but the Merc is Has been the benchmark for 8 years now.”

Mercedes have yet to confirm whether Hamilton has begun pre-season simulator training, leaving fans wondering about the Briton's involvement in the next edition of the German car. Seeing the driver active with his personal trainer, many believe it is safe to assume that he is taking steps to prepare for his return.
