Lewis Hamilton hints at F1 retirement deadline as he shuts down Kimi Raikkonen suggestion


Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton believes he won't be following in the footsteps of Kimi Raikkonen and continue racing until he's 41. The 36-year-old, who has won seven world titles during his career, is aiming to win his eighth title this year. The Briton is currently the third oldest F1 driver on the grid behind Alpine's Fernando Alonso, 39, and Kimi Raikkonen, 41, at Alfa Romeo. Hamilton was asked by AS if he may take a leaf out of Raikkonen's book. "I don't think so," he stated. "I don't think I'm going to drive forever, even if this was the biggest ride of my life. There's a lot of things I want to keep doing for a while, but others don't. I'd have five years left for that, and I don't think I'm going to keep running then, even if you never say never." Hamilton has recently expressed interest in starting contract negotiations with Mercedes for 2022, with a hope to get talks wrapped up by F1's summer break in August.
