Following the controversial ending to last season, it was unclear whether Hamilton would return to Formula 1 this season.
However, the Brit confirmed he would be back and will begin his hunt to reclaim the F1 title this weekend after Max Verstappen won his maiden title in the dying seconds of last season.
When Williams driver Nicholas Latifi crashed into the barriers late into the race, the safety car was deployed at the Yas Marina Circuit. This saw Hamilton's significant lead drastically reduced, with Verstappen boasting the advantage as he was using fresher tyres.
The decision to allow lapped cars to pass the safety car was extremely controversial, and Sir Lewis - who looked destined to win a record eighth world title - said on the car radio "This has been manipulated, man", but was later complementary to the Dutchman in post-race interviews.
