Lewis Hamilton He said it clearly. Sometimes he thinks about leaving Formula 1 now. Don’t think about your new challenge within the Ferrari team and leave. He admitted this in comments reported this Monday by the media ‘Esquire’, where he stressed that he could leave at any time.
“Of course yes,” he replies when asked if he plans to quit: “There are days when I think: ‘shit, I don’t know how much longer I can go on…’
“There are days when I would like to take a breaka real break, because we don’t have a very big break in the season like in other sports. You don’t finish until mid-December, then you train again in January, twice a day. There are still a few hours of therapy that are also done during this time, so you don’t have a lot of free time. And from February, you run until December,” explains the seven-time champion of the Grand Cirque, who will leave Mercedes to wear the colors of Ferrari starting next year.
He says he has a plan: “I have a mental plan of how far I want to go. I just have to strategize and sequence things. I’m very good at sequencing, how to see the brands I collaborate with, the companies that I am essentially starting, how “I manage my time between all that, and how I am still able to dedicate myself to this profession”.
“Will there come a time when I no longer dedicate myself to this and stop being in love? This is the time that I hope never happens, in the sense that I am no longer in love. But I will know when I have to do it,” confides Charles Leclerc’s future partner.
This is not the first time that Lewis has mentioned this possible withdrawal. In 2021, after losing the world championship to Max Verstappenhas already declared that he is on the verge of leaving Formula 1.
