Hamilton says he's still 'all in' for the foreseeable future

Hamilton says he's still 'all in' for the foreseeable future

Lewis Hamilton is not ruling out continuing his Formula One career until the sport returns to Africa in the 2030s, according to the 41-year-old driver. Formula One recently announced a 10-year agreement to host an African Grand Prix in Rwanda, the first such event since 1993, a cause Hamilton has actively supported. When asked whether he could still race by then, Hamilton stated he remained fully committed.

He highlighted his unique physical attributes, saying his reaction times are faster than those of many younger drivers. Hamilton emphasized his dedication to maintaining peak performance, stating he wouldn't continue if his skills declined. His immediate goal is to use the remaining races of the season to assess his readiness for the next year's Ferrari, while helping secure second place in the constructors championship for his team.

Currently, Hamilton is third in the drivers' standings with 241 points, just one behind Mercedes' George Russell. He remains focused on ensuring the team's success, despite acknowledging Ferrari's potential improvement in straight-line performance.
