McLaren-Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton admits his main focus is Formula 1
The 2008 Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton has recently admitted that his main focus in terms of a career is Formula 1.
A recent report revealed that Sebastian Vettel might retire from the sport until 2014, which is when his contract with Red Bull Racing team expires.
Vettel claims that he might want to try something different by then but Hamilton on the other hand said he does not want to leave the sport anytime soon and claimed that he will not get attracted to any other sort of pleasure in the future either.
“No [I won't stop]. I'm not searching for it, but I still love doing that stuff. It's still awesome when you hang around with people like that. I still feel exactly the same way about them, the way I did before I met them, even though I know them now. I'm
still a little starstruck, in admiration,” said Hamilton.
The British driver claims that he still enjoys how his life is and he does not want to change his lifestyle much. Formula 1 was his main focus ever since he was a kid, he has achieved a lot and has a very secure future as he is signed with Simon Fuller’s
management.
“There will be more things in the future, but at the moment there are more important things to do. That is somehow to get this Formula One career at its peak because I don't feel it's at its highest,” he added.
Hamilton has retired out of a handful of races this year which is extremely disappointing for both his team and himself as that is the main reason why he is out of the championship this year.
Despite the fact that he is mathematically still alive, winning the championship for him is a long shot now as there are just 7 races left in the 2011 Formula 1 season and the championship leader Sebastian Vettel is already more than 100 points ahead of
him.
He is hoping for a better season next year but since his driving style is quite aggressive, we can expect anything from him at any time.
