Lewis Hamilton was compared to Cristiano Ronaldo as his team boss Toto Wolff discussed what the future holds for his star driver.
Hamilton will have turned 39 by the start of next season, assuming he chooses not to retire from Formula 1. And that won't even make him the oldest racer on the grid, as Fernando Alonso will be 42 and, given Aston Martin's rise to prominence, possibly competing for race wins and maybe even the championship.
Both of them have maintained remarkable physical fitness to be able to continue racing at such a high level. In the eyes of Mercedes team principal Wolff, that puts Hamilton and Alonso in the same category as some of the other sporting legends who have shown such longevity.
