Lewis Hamilton urged to retire by F1 legend Jackie Stewart to “protect legacy”

Jackie Stewart has urged Lewis Hamilton to protect his own legacy and reputation by walking away from F1.

Hamilton, 37, was on the brink of an unprecedented eighth world title last year when, in the final race of the season, he was scuppered by the now infamous safety car procedure that gifted Max Verstappen the title. In the aftermath, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff admitted Hamilton had been "disillusioned" by what transpired.

But in February, he buried any doubts over his future in the sport by confirming he would again be driving for the Silver Arrows. He cited a desire to make history, not wanting his career to be tainted by the controversy of 2021.
