Hamilton: “Would regret quitting early”

“I would regret stopping early,” said the 34-year-old Brit in an interview with RTL: “Maybe I’m wrong about that. But I want to drive as long as I can. I completely understand why Michael Schumacher drove for so long.”

Schumacher, record world champion in the premier motorsport class with seven titles, resigned for the first time in 2006 at the age of almost 38. At 41, he made another three-year comeback at Mercedes.

Hamilton took over his cockpit for the 2013 season and has been going from success to success ever since. “I still have a lot left in the tank. I love the idea of racing,” said the Briton on the sidelines of the US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas (Sunday, 20.10:XNUMX p.m.).

The 83-time Grand Prix winner had already made similar statements on Thursday. He sees the new Formula 2021 regulations, which will apply from 1, as a “big challenge” and thus hinted at thoughts of extending his contract with Mercedes, which expires in 2020.

“I love what I do and I want to be a pioneer. The team has proven that it is the best prepared. “I don’t see myself driving for another team,” said Hamilton.

Eighth place at the Circuit of the Americas is enough for the Mercedes star to complete the half dozen on his own and move within one title of Schumacher.
