by privatebet.com - 2022/09/10
This Formula 1 season has been pretty disappointing for Lewis Hamilton, but that doesn’t mean he’s going away anytime soon. The seven-time World Champion shut down retirement rumors and said he wants to stay at Mercedes for life. Hamilton hasn’t really been on top of his game since Mercedes introduced many major changes to their car design ahead of this season. We haven’t seen him win a single race, marking this his first winless season since his debut in 2007. He currently sits in a disappointing sixth spot in the World Champion rankings. His bad performance sparked retirement rumors that have been following him for quite some time, but the Formula 1 champion claims he’s here to stay. “For years we’ve be going around, up and down with stories of retirement and stopping, and for me, I feel healthier than I’ve ever felt. As I focus a lot on that, I’m feeling fit, I love what I’m doing and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon," said Hamilton at a recent news conference. He also addressed his future with Mercedes and said that he wants to stay with his current team “until the day I die.” Hamilton said he loves the long partnership that they have and he feels there’s still a lot of work to accomplish together.
