‘GET USED TO IT’ – HAMILTON DETERMINED TO STAY IN F1

Lewis Hamilton is putting retirement rumors to bed, declaring he's in F1 "for quite some time" and plans to be around for at least five more years. The British veteran, now with Ferrari, insists his passion remains strong, even after a challenging start to his Scuderia tenure.

Hamilton's highly anticipated 2025 switch saw him secure a China Sprint victory but finish sixth in the drivers' standings. Now in 2026, he's showing glimpses of form, recently snatching his first Grand Prix podium with the Prancing Horse at the Chinese GP. Hamilton emphasized his commitment, stating, "Get used to it." He's actively working with the team, even abandoning simulator prep for the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix after tough races in Japan and Miami—a move Ferrari supports to maximize their package. This determination signals Hamilton isn't just seeing out a contract; he's aiming for future success, keeping the pressure on Red Bull and Mercedes.
