LONDON. – Lewis Hamilton has hinted he could walk away from Formula One at the end of the season, while also indicating it was highly unlikely.
The triple world champion, so often an enigma shrouded in contradiction, offered little certainty after winning the British Grand Prix for a record-equalling fifth time on Sunday.
What came across strongly, however, was that the Mercedes driver felt in the form of his life and would always want to be a winner.
“Apart from being with my family, the happiest moment I ever have is when I’ve got the car on a knife-edge and that’s never really changed,” he told reporters after Sunday’s race at Silverstone.
“In terms of contracts and stuff, I can’t really say what’s going to happen six months from now. But what I do know is I’m loving racing. I really, really do feel within myself that I’m driving better than I’ve ever driven.”
Hamilton has another year and a half to go on his Mercedes contract and is now just one point behind Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel in the standings at the midpoint of the season. – Reuters.
