Hamilton has no intenttion to retire from F1

Speaking to selected media, including GPblog, Hamilton answered whether he would retire should he become world champion for the eighth time. "If I was fortunate enough to win another title, which is obviously what we're setting out to do, I don't see myself stopping," he stated.

The Briton backed teammate Charles Leclerc, who stated Ferrari was ready to win the world title. "I worked with two World Championship winning teams before. I know what a winning team looks and feels like. Everyone here is. The passion here is like nothing you've ever seen. They've got absolutely every ingredient they need to win a World Championship.

"It's just about putting all the pieces together. And we've got a great leader in Fred [Vasseur] and then John [Elkann] and Benedetto [Vigna]. And so everyone just has a really calm and good approach. No one's like,’ we're perfect in every single area.’ Everyone's like, ‘we need to elevate everywhere.’ And they're leaving no stone unturned to try and do that," Hamilton concluded.
