Hamilton recently discussed his Formula 1 future and the challenges of the sport’s demanding travel commitments. Despite moments of doubt about his ability to continue, once he’s in the car, his passion for racing returns. Even with the challenges posed by the bouncy and troublesome Mercedes W14, Hamilton feels the same level of excitement as he did during his rookie season in 2007. He envisions himself racing for another five years but acknowledges that circumstances can change.
“Honestly, I have moments where I’m like ‘I don’t know if I can keep going,’ and that’s just based on there being a lot of travel,” Lewis Hamilton explained. “But then I get into the paddock and I get in the car, and I’m like ‘damn, I love this so much.’ I definitely get the same buzz [as in 2007], I would say in last year’s car and this year’s car. But it can change at any point.”
