Lewis Hamilton addresses retirement rumors

The 2022 season has not panned out the way Hamilton wanted. The Mercedes driver is currently 6th in the table and is already 75 points behind leader Max Verstappen. To add to his misery, his teammate George Russell has outperformed him throughout the season.

As the results are not turning around, rumors about his retirement have increased. However, the 37-year-old has shut down the rumors and revealed that he will continue to race.

He told Corriere della Ser, “Why should I stop? Let’s take this season: I probably won’t win the title, but I feel the same pleasure of competing as when I started. Maybe one day I won’t be able to take the pressure anymore, I’ll be tired, but that day hasn’t come yet.”
