Lewis Hamilton has shared a cryptic post on social media, suggesting an announcement of some kind on 8 August.
However, it is unclear what it could be regarding. That date falls a few days after the Hungarian Grand Prix, which is the final round of the F1 season before the mandated summer shutdown.
It has been a difficult first half of the campaign for the seven-time F1 drivers' champion since joining Ferrari, but he will evidently be getting some respite away from the track over the break.
