Lewis Hamilton will turn 39 in January – but the seven-time world champion’s contract with Toto Wolff’s Mercedes doesn’t expire until the end of the 2025 campaign

Lewis Hamilton admits he has contemplated retirement but insists he remains determined to keep his Formula 1 dream alive.

Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, narrowly missed out on winning a record eighth crown two years ago. He’s since struggled to keep up with reigning champion Max Verstappen, failing to win a single race since the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

The Mercedes star’s car is to blame for his recent results. Speaking ahead of this Sunday’s Las Vegas Grand Prix, Hamilton suggested Mercedes don’t have a “race-winning car”. Team boss Toto Wolff has also lamented their failure to produce the best motor in F1.

Hamilton believes Mercedes got complacent during their long stint at the top of F1, as they won every Constructors’ Championship between 2014 and 2021. Although he’s admitted the last two years have been tough, he’s determined to become a champion again.
