British car racer Lewis Hamilton reveals his retirement plans months after turning 40.
According to Express, seven-time world champion ahead of his debut with Ferrari reveals his retirement plans in the recent interview.
Hamilton told Time Magazine, “You can’t compare me to another 40-year-old, past or present, Formula One driver in history. Because they are nothing like me. I’m hungry, driven, and don’t have a wife and kids.”
“I’m focused on one thing, and that’s winning. That’s my number one priority. What I can tell you is, retirement is nowhere on my radar. I could be here until I’m 50, who knows,” he added.
Talking about his debut with Ferrari in the 2025 season, he said that he is confident in his abilities, and he knows exactly how he can achieve his goals.
He asserted, “I know exactly where the North Star is, I know where I need to go. I know how to get there. It’s far, and it’s going to be tough to get there. But I know I’ve got all the ingredients, all the people, and an amazing team around me. So it’s how much you want it. And I can’t express to you how much I want it.”
Notably, if Hamilton’s prediction of driving a car till the age of 50 became true, he would become one of just 13 drivers in the history of Formula 1 to compete at the age of 50, the first to do so since Louis Rosier in 1956.
