Lewis Hamilton has firmly stated that he has no plans to retire from Formula 1, emphasizing his commitment to the sport during a recent FIA news conference ahead of the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix. The seven-time world champion, who has signed a multi-year contract with Ferrari starting in 2025, clarified that he is under contract at least until the end of the 2027 season. Despite a rocky first year with Ferrari, where he failed to secure a podium finish, Hamilton remains optimistic about the future. He noted, 'I’m still focused, I’m still motivated,' and indicated that he is planning for the next five years in F1. Hamilton's first podium with Ferrari came during the 2026 season at the Chinese Grand Prix, but he has struggled to match the pace of his teammate, Charles Leclerc, in recent races. Looking ahead, Hamilton is determined to improve and continue competing at a high level in the sport he loves.
