Ex-F1 driver Johnny Herbert has urged Lewis Hamilton to “be honest” with himself about the right time for him to consider retirement.
Former Formula 1 driver Johnny Herbert advises Lewis Hamilton to be honest with himself about considering retirement timing. At 41 years old, Hamilton, now with Ferrari, may be approaching the end of his F1 career. With 105 wins and seven titles, he’s statistically the greatest driver, but Herbert suggests realizing when competitiveness wanes. Having a younger teammate like Charles Leclerc may accelerate this realization for Hamilton. Herbert notes the evolution of top F1 drivers and how there reaches a point where continuing becomes more challenging. Despite a resurgence, Hamilton must eventually assess if it’s time to hang up his racing helmet.
