37-Year-Old Lewis Hamilton Makes Startling Retirement Confession Amid Contract Extension Talks: “Worst Case Scenario…”

Formula 1 is in Brazil for the 21st round of the 2022 F1 season. The race at Sao Paulo will see the pinnacle motorsport come together for the penultimate time this year. As F1 is in the South American country, so is Lewis Hamilton where he shared his take on his retirement plans.

Times aren’t going well for the seven-time world champion lately. Some rumors doubt his future endeavors after a poor show in 2022. While many believe that the 37-year-old might retire from the sport in the coming seasons, others are doubtful about his Mercedes contract extension.

Talking about this, the Briton stated during an interview with Top Magazine, “I think I’ll always be a part of the sport. It has been a part of my life since I have been 5. One day I step away, I’ll not step away completely. I’ll always hold on to those relationships. Worst-case scenario, I’ll come out of retirement.”

Lewis Hamilton reveals his race day essentials

The former McLaren driver opened up on racing in Brazil. It is believed that the South American country gets really humid at this time of the year. So staying hydrated is a must for him.

Talking about this, Lewis Hamilton further stated in the interview, “I always carry a big bottle of water. In Brazil, you lose a lot of weight in this race. Hydration, headphones, and my phone. Those are the 3 things that I can’t go through my race day without.”

“There is so much going on, on race day. There are so many nerves, no matter how many times you do it. So first you need to stay hydrated and second, some music or sounds to try to keep you away from the things going on in your mind,” concluded the Briton.
