Lewis Hamilton hints at “a plan” for when he will retire from F1
“There are days I’m like, shoot, I don’tཧ know💞 how much longer I can go"

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton h♑as discussed how he will “ಌstrategise” to meet his goal for longevity before eventually retiring from F1.
Age🌄d 39, Hamilton is the second-oldest driver on the grid behind o𝓡nly Fernando Alonso (43).
But, F1’s most successful driver Hamilton has no desire to slow dowꦛn yet and will join Ferไrari from Mercedes next year.
The precise length of his Ferrari deal is unclear but Hamilton will be racing when F1’s new regulations begꦑin in 2026, and he claimed earlier this yea⛄r “I’m going to be racing well into my 40s”.
He told about whether he has a t🎃imeframe for the rest of his career: “I definitely do.
“There are days I’✱m like, shoot, I don’t know how much longer I can go.
“There are days I’m like, shoot, I’d love a break, a proper break,𝐆 because you don’t get a re🏅al big break in the season like other sports.
“You don’t finish until mid to late December, and then you’re back into training already in J💦anuary, and that’s two times a day you’re training.
“There are another ཧcouple of hours of therapy that you’re doing♌ during that time as well.
“So you’r꧅e not really getting a huge amount of downtime. And in February, you’re flat out running until December.”
Hamilton teased♍: “But I do have mentally a plan of where I would like to extend🐈 to.
“I’ve just got to strategise and sequence things. I’m very much about sequencing, like looking at brands that I collaborate with, companies that I’m essentially starting, how I manage my time between all those, and how I’m able to dedicate my🔯self to this job still.
“Is there a time when I’m not aܫll in and I’m♓ just not in love with it anymore?
“That’s the moment that hopefully n꧂ever🐠 happens, in the sense that I’ve fallen out of love with it.
“But I will know when I need to stop.”
Hamilton, and Alonso, have shown that it is possible to remain competitive with🔴 much younger contenders.
Hamilton has won two of the past three F1 grands prix,♛ at Silverstone and Spa, driving a rejuvenated Mercedes which will give him hope of more wins when the summe🐷r break ends.
Then, next yea🦹r, his quest for an all-time record eighth F1 championship will take hi🌊m to Ferrari.
“I want to make sure I really maౠx it out while I can a𒅌nd fully enjoy this sport I’ve done my whole life,” he said.
“There are so many people that ha꧃ve finished their careers early, and I’ve spoken to many who’ve said they wish they could have just done one more year or two. And they’re like,🙈 ‘Stay in as long as you can!’
“But I don’t want to do it if I’m not good.
“So it’s like, how much do you want to train? When you’re twenty-two, it’s so easy to work out and be fit. There’s no recovery and you’ve got nothing else going on, no other stresses, no real responsibilities except for that o⛦ne thing to go and kill.
“Now it’s: How can you stay sharp and be able to do all those things you have going on, 🦹and still be able to compete with those♒ young guys in their twenties?”
Max Verstappen, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri (not to mention his teammate George Russell) are among the F1 front runners who are much younger than H⭕amilton.
He insists that defeating rivals from a late🐟r generation is not mot🎃ivation.
“Not particularly,” Hamilton said. “I’m super competitive naturally. I don’t care who it is. I just want toᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ win.”
F1 resumes in the Netherlands on August 23-25.
