Formula 1 fans are waiting with bated breath to see which high-profile figure in the sport is next up for the chop amid fears the Lewis Hamilton ‘Thirst Trap Curse’<\/a><\/b> is set to strike once again. <\/b><\/p>\n

\nIt’s a commonly – albeit bizarrely – shared notion amongst the F1 faithful that whenever the seven-time world champion posts a shirtless selfie online, a major departure isn’t too far away. <\/p>\n

\nAnd after Hamilton shared a mid-workout photo on his Instagram<\/a> story this week, many reckon there may be a few of the sport’s big names shifting uncomfortably in their seats… <\/p>\n

Who will be Hamilton’s latest victim?<\/p>\n

\nTaking to Reddit<\/a>, one fan wrote: “If the Lewis thirst trap correlation remains true, someone is getting fired real soon.” <\/p>\n

\nPrevious victims of the so-called ‘curse’ include four-time champion Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo, prompting speculation over who could be next, with Hamilton’s Ferrari race engineer Riccardo Adami an early favourite off the back of a few heated exchanges between the pair<\/a><\/b>. <\/p>\n

\nOne commented: “Adami is getting canned, wonder who his new race engineer will be.” <\/p>\n

\nAnother said: “Adami just fell to his knees in the Ferrari<\/a> garage.” <\/p>\n

\nJust last week, Alpine team principal Oliver Oakes resigned from his position<\/a><\/b>, before rookie driver Jack Doohan was replaced by Franco Colapinto<\/a><\/b>, but that didn’t stop some from predicting there could be more turmoil on the way for the struggling outfit. <\/p>\n

\n“Another Alpine employee is getting the chop,” was one response, as another said: “If the curse is fair, Flavio Briatore’s<\/a><\/b> gone.” <\/p>\n

\nFerrari star cuts social media ties<\/p>\n

\nHamilton’s post came just hours before he opted to conduct a shock cleanse of his social media profile<\/a><\/b>, unfollowing everyone including the Ferrari F1 team account, his dog Roscoe, and team-mate Charles Leclerc. <\/p>\n

\nThe former Mercedes<\/a> driver has endured a tough start to life at the Scuderia since making the blockbuster move in the off-season, failing to finish higher than fifth on any of his six race outings to date. <\/p>\n

\nHe currently sits seventh in the drivers’ championship, one spot behind the man who replaced him at the Silver Arrows, rookie Kimi Antonelli. <\/p>\n

\nThe 40-year-old has often cut a dejected figure<\/a><\/b> on race weekends as he struggles to find a solution to his disappointing form, with ex-F1 star Ralf Schumacher suggesting that he could soon quit the sport for good if he is unable to turn his fortunes around over the coming months. <\/p>\n

\nHamilton will be in action once again in Imola this weekend at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix<\/a><\/b>, as he looks to finally get his Ferrari career up and running in front of the passionate Italian fans. <\/p>\n
