Lewis Hamilton is happy with Mercedes's current development.
Speaking candidly about his worries regarding the future of his racing career, Lewis Hamilton also talks about the difficulties of the Formula One schedule.
Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton, 39, has expressed doubts about how long his racing career will go, pointing out the unknowns and difficulties that come with being a top competitor in the sport.
Hamilton expressed a mixture of optimism and apprehension about the future in a chat with Esquire: “I definitely do. He acknowledged, “There are days when I think, Holy crap, I don’t know how much longer I can continue. Hamilton revealed the demanding timetable of Formula One, which provides very little relaxation in comparison to other sports.
There are times when I think, “Hey, I’d really love a break, a proper break, because unlike other sports, you don’t get a real big break during the season.” You return to training early in January after finishing in mid- to late-December,” he clarified.
There is little time for relaxation in this rigorous schedule, which consists of twice-daily training sessions and extra hours spent in treatment. Even so, the British man isn’t quite ready to call it a day on his remarkable career. He intends to “be racing well into my 40s,” and he will be switching from Mercedes to Ferrari the following year, so his career in Formula One is far from ended.
“I definitely have an idea in my head about where I want to grow. I just need to plan ahead and organize things. I’m really interested in sequencing; for example, I look at firms that I basically create from scratch and brands that I work with, how I manage my time between all of those, and how I’m still able to dedicate myself to this work.
Is there ever a moment when I’m just not into anything anymore and I’m not all in? I’ve gone out of love with it, so that’s the moment that hopefully never comes. But I’ll be able to tell when to give up.
“I want to make sure I really max it out while I can and fully enjoy this sport I’ve done my whole life.”
Another main topic of conversation was his career and the impact of aging and physical health. Hamilton compared his present routine to his earlier one.
“Being healthy and working out is very simple when you’re twenty-two years old. With the exception of that one thing to go and kill, there is no recuperation and you have no other obligations, anxieties, or commitments.
The question now is: “How can you maintain your competitive edge while juggling all the things you have on your plate and still be able to beat those young guys in their twenties?” There are many different opinions on when to retire from sports, and it can be difficult to decide when to stop.
“So many individuals have ended their careers early, and many of the people I’ve spoken to have expressed that they wish they could have continued for an additional year or two. And they say, “Remain here for as long as you can!” However, if I’m not excellent, I don’t want to do it,” Hamilton said.
His guiding principle is to leave the game with a positive legacy and a deep passion for it. Is there ever a moment when I’m just not into anything anymore and I’m not all in? Hopefully, that will never come to pass. However, I will be aware of when to give up.”
