In 37 years Y seven F1 champions at their windows, Lewis Hamilton He has no plans to retire anytime soon. And less do it without fighting for the title. This year, just months after battling for his eighth title against Verstappen until the final lap of the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP, he finds himself with Mercedes far from the front, with many problems, and despite improving on the course as the stars fit the pieces of their risky concept, it is still far from Red Bull’s potential. Hamilton wants to fight for a new title and become the driver with the most crowns in history, and lead Mercedes in its return to the top, one of the biggest challenges of his career. That’s why he doesn’t think of giving up.
This was said in an interview granted to ‘BBC‘, where he clarified their intention to renew with Mercedes in 3 to 5 years. His current contract expires next year, in 2023. In the case of signing for 5 seasons, Hamilton will ensure his presence in F1 until he is 42 or 43 years old.
“We will sign another contract. We will sit and talk for the next two months. My goal is to continue with Mercedes. I’ve been with them since I was 13 (when he was signed to be part of their young talent program with McLaren) and they are my familythey trusted me all this time”, pointed out the Briton.
“When we reach the end of the course, what I will try to do is analyze everything that happened and think of a plan for three to five years, it is difficult for me to do ten more”, he added.
“I have many businesses and many positive things that will give me the opportunity to be successful abroad, but I want to continue running. I love what I do. I’ve been running for 30 years and I don’t think I need to stop. I can stop now and I will have projects that are busy, but I am here for my love for the organization I work for, so you will have me here longer,” said English.
The difference between him and Russell
Hamilton also pointed to the differences seen this year between him and his new teammate George Russell, who has had a better start to the season and is now 4th in the World Championship with 218 points, 20 more than Hamilton who 6th with 198 Lewis said that with a car that had so many starting problems, he had to take more risks in terms of car set-up to help the team find solutions for -development.
“George is doing well. He hasn’t had much experience because I’ve been here for a long time so I’m open to taking these risks. If he’s ahead of me in the World Cup at the end of the season, it doesn’t matter, we’re not fighting for the title. If we’re first and second, it’s different”Hamilton finished.
