Will Lewis Hamilton continue racing in F1 after 2023?

As reported by Planetf1, former F1 driver, and Sky Sports pundit Martin Brundle mentioned, it is hard to see Hamilton racing in the sport if Mercedes are the 3rd fastest team. He stated that although he is very motivated; it is a matter of time before when he decides regarding stopping racing.

“As long as he’s still enjoying the bits around F1 or he can tolerate those bits around F1 and balance it out with just loving driving the car, [he’ll stay],” said Brundle.

“[But] if he goes through the whole year and Mercedes is third fastest and others are catching them up, then I suspect he’ll take a different view and my enjoyment analogy will play out in that he won’t be enjoying it anymore,” added the Sky pundit.
