Lewis Hamilton hinted that the decision to pursue a career in Formula 1 also depends on the opinion of his relatives. The current obligations of the seven-time world champion to Mercedes are calculated until the end of next season.
If he extends his contract with the Stuttgart group’s factory team, which is quite likely, he will certainly continue to drive in Formula 1 when he is already over 40. In an interview with the New York Times, Hamilton said he has such plans, but his family can influence them.
“A career can’t go on forever, but an inner voice tells me, ‘You haven’t done everything yet, you have to keep resting, you have to achieve more,’ Lewis shared. – But one day this day will come, and it will be hard for me to say goodbye to the races, I’ve been doing them for 30 years, but I plan to do it for a while before I retire for good.
Fortunately, that won’t happen today. My dad and brother think I can race forever because they are racers themselves. Speaking of my mom and sister, I definitely feel like they just want me to do what I want to do.
But at the same time they see how difficult it is. Sometimes when I visit my sister, at her house, I just fall right on the couch! Of course I love what I do. I like to take on this challenge every weekend, I like how together with the team we try to surpass ourselves every weekend.
There is a certain reason that fills me with energy, which makes me train intensively and give myself completely to work. But at some point I want to start a family, and then I will devote all my attention to her, but for now the most important thing for me is to play for Mercedes in Formula 1.
