Lewis Hamilton Says He’s ‘Built Differently’ to Keep Racing in F1 for the Foreseeable Future

Lewis Hamilton, the seven‑time world champion, has reaffirmed his intent to remain in Formula 1 for the foreseeable future, citing his unique physical and mental attributes as key to sustaining a high level of performance. In an interview that appeared on both Motorsport.com and Autosport, the Mercedes driver said that his longevity in the sport is a combination of disciplined training, a keen focus on recovery, and a mindset that keeps him sharp on the track.

Hamilton explained that his “built differently” approach means he prioritises nutrition, sleep and a tailored fitness regime that allows him to recover faster than many of his peers. He added that the mental resilience he has developed over his career—learning to stay calm under pressure and to analyse data quickly—helps him adapt to the ever‑evolving demands of F1. The driver also noted that he is constantly reviewing his performance metrics and working closely with Mercedes’ data team to fine‑tune his driving style for each circuit.

While acknowledging that the sport’s competitive nature means there will always be new challenges, Hamilton said he remains focused on staying at the top of his game. “If I can keep performing at a level that keeps me competitive, I’ll stay in F1,” he told the reporters. He added that the passion for racing and the drive to win continue to fuel his ambition, and he sees no reason to step away unless circumstances change significantly.

For Indian fans, Hamilton’s continued presence in F1 means more chances to see him battle for podiums at the upcoming Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix. The races will be available to stream live on FanCode from 6:00 PM IST, with commentary in Hindi and English. Keep an eye on the schedule as the season progresses, as Hamilton’s performance will be a key storyline for the championship.
