Lewis Hamilton endured a difficult final handful of seasons at Mercedes, and his switch to Ferrari has not seen him bring home the desired results thus far.
Former Formula 1 driver David Brabham is of the opinion that Lewis Hamilton has extended his career beyond its prime and should have retired earlier.
Hamilton had a successful period in F1 between 2014 and 2020, securing six championship titles during this time.
Despite close calls in 2016 and 2021, where he narrowly missed clinching the title to Nico Rosberg and Max Verstappen, respectively.
With the introduction of new technical regulations in 2022, Mercedes faced setbacks, causing Hamilton to fall out of title contention for the first time in almost a decade.
In a bid for change, Hamilton moved to Ferrari this season, but is yet to achieve notable results, including his first podium finish with the team.
Ferrari is now shifting its focus towards the 2026 car under new regulations, leaving questions about Hamilton’s future in F1, as Brabham suggests he may have prolonged his career too much.
