Hamilton says he’s still ‘all in’ for the foreseeable future

Lewis Hamilton, currently third in the Formula One drivers' standings with 241 points, has expressed his continued commitment to the sport, despite his age of 41. The 41-year-old driver, who has actively campaigned for an African Grand Prix, said he retains the reaction times of a younger driver during a press conference ahead of the Mexico City Grand Prix.

Hamilton believes he can still compete at the top level, stating, "I can compete with a 20-year-old." He emphasized that he would not continue in the sport if his performance declined, adding that his immediate focus is to leverage the final five races of the season to test his skills on Ferrari and help the team secure second place in the constructors' championship.

Hamilton also highlighted the importance of addressing the chassis' shortcomings, particularly in straight-line performance, to potentially gain an advantage over competitors.
