Lewis Hamilton makes huge F1 quit claim

Lewis Hamilton, who secured his fifth world title last month, wants a shorter season rather than the proposed extension, he has vowed to QUIT F1 if the season is extended to 25 races. "It already feels like we are on race 25 this year, so I don't think that's a good thing personally," said Hamilton. “I'm someone who really loves racing but the season is long. It's a lot of commitment for all of us and a lot of time away from families and the seasons are getting longer and the off time is getting shorter. "The turnaround is so short, you start preparing for your next season often as soon as the season is done. "It's most likely I'm not going to be here when it gets to 25 that's for sure." Next season will end in December, the latest finish since 1963, but Germany, Britain, Italy and Spain do not as yet have contracts beyond then.
