F1 followers wondered whether Hamilton might have been about to make a statement on his F1 future. The teaser came days before the 40-year-old described himself as “useless” and urged the Italian outfit to replace him. However, the announcement had nothing to do with F1 at all. Instead, Hamilton is simply promoting a new non-alcoholic drink.

Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton unveiled his long-awaited announcement that was teased for Aug. 8, and it turned out to be nothing like what fans expected.

F1 fans lost their minds thinking Hamilton was going to announce his retirement, but August 8 merely marked the reveal for Hamilton's newest drink in his Almave line, Almave Humo.
