Former Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton has given a major update on his career goals ahead. While this could be the first year in which he failed to win a single race after winning the first title in 2008. The 37-year-old stated that he could sign another multi-year deal with his current team that could see him race into his 40s.
When he was asked about his future plans, Hamilton gave a cheeky reply by saying that the media would have to bear with him for longer.
"You’re stuck with me for quite a bit longer," Hamilton told the reporters as quoted by AFP.
"We are going to do another deal. We are going to sit down and discuss it in these next couple of months," he added.
"I want to keep racing. I love what I do. I’ve been doing it for 30 years and I don’t feel that I should have to stop. I think I am currently still earning my keep. I still want to do better," he said.
"I could stop now – and I have lots of other things in the pipeline that I will be super-focused and super-busy with – (but) I’m here for the sheer love of working in the organisation that I’m in."
"Mercedes-Benz have stuck with me through thick and thin. They stuck with me through being expelled at school."
"They stuck with me through everything that was going on through 2020. They’ve stuck with me through my mistakes and through the ups and downs."
However, the seven-time world champion refused to comment on whether he could be described as one of the "Greatest of All time" (GOAT) drivers.
He said that he would rather choose to answer by his performances and let them speak for himself.
