Lewis Hamilton: “I’m built differently” as he eyes F1 career into 2030s

Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton says he is open to extending his Formula 1 career into the 2030s following the announcement of a 10-year deal for an African Grand Prix in Rwanda. The seven-time world champion claimed that he is "built differently" and maintained that his reaction times remain faster than those of younger competitors, though he acknowledged that future physical challenges could arise as he ages.

Hamilton explained that he will only continue racing as long as his performance and competitive pace do not drop off. Currently sitting third in the drivers' championship, one point behind George Russell, Hamilton stated that his primary focus is securing second place in the constructors' championship for Ferrari while using the remaining races to prepare for the 2027 season.
