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 has advised Lewis Hamilton to be honest with himself about the right time to consider retirement. Hamilton, now in his second year with Ferrari, is approaching the end of his illustrious F1 career as a seven-time World Champion. Herbert believes Hamilton should acknowledge when his competitiveness may not be as strong and know when to step back from racing. With a younger teammate like Charles Leclerc, the pressure to keep up may increase for Hamilton. The 41-year-old Hamilton has shown a resurgence this year but Herbert reminds that all greats eventually face a point where it’s not as easy as before. Despite Hamilton’s current motivation and performance, the question remains how many more seasons he has left in F1.
