Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton may be enduring the most difficult patch of his career to date, but the Mercedes star insists he'll be "the one to decide when it’s finished."
After the anguish of losing out on last season's title to Red Bull rival Max Verstappen, the 2022 season has started horrendously for the record-hunter. Hamilton, 37, sits seventh after four races and has already conceded he and Mercedes are unlikely to challenge for the crown.
That doesn't mean retirement looms any closer for the veteran, however, as he prepares to enter the final 18 months of his current contract. That's after Hamilton posted a message of defiance on social media following a surge in speculation suggesting he's no longer fit for the job.
