Reigning F1 world champion and Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton still has several years left in his career at the pinnacle of the sport and he wants to one day look back and savour the road he traveled.
“I hope I look back and say that particularly these last few years were the years I lived to the max,” Hamilton told the Daily Mirror.
“They were years when I did everything I wanted, I travelled and I arrived and did my job to the best of my abilities. So I lived completely. When I am old and grey, I want to be able to think: what a life this has been.”
But at the same time admitted, “I hope I don’t look back and say these are the best years of my life because I hope the best years are still ahead of me.”
Hamilton began his Formula 1 career at the 2007 Australian Grand Prix as a McLaren driver. He won his first grand prix in Canada in only his sixth race at the pinnacle of the sport.
He has since made 175 starts winning 45 times, finished on the podium on 92 occasions and started from pole 53 times. He won the 2008 F1 world championship, his first, with McLaren and has since added two more titles, back to back in 2014-2015 with Mercedes.
