Lewis Hamilton said he remains committed to Formula One for the foreseeable future and could still be racing when the sport returns to Africa in the 2030s. He said Ferrari's final five races this season will serve as a test bench for next year's car as the team seeks second place in the constructors' championship.
Hamilton said he remains fully committed to Formula One and is not ruling out racing into the 2030s, when the sport is expected to return to Africa with a race in Rwanda. The 41-year-old said he believes his reactions remain competitive with those of younger drivers, but added he would not continue if his performance declined.
Hamilton said his immediate focus is using the season's final five races as a test bench for next year's Ferrari and helping the team secure second place in the constructors' championship. He is third in the drivers' standings with 241 points, one behind Mercedes' George Russell. He said he is working with Ferrari's aerodynamic and vehicle-dynamics departments on retaining the current chassis's strengths and addressing its straight-line performance.
