Hamilton makes surprise ‘sabbatical’ claim as Verstappen takes swipe at English fans
Lewis Hamilton has revealed that he may take a sabbatical from F1 before he claims his eighth world title.
It has been a difficult couple of seasons for the Brit in F1, after heartbreakingly missing out on that record-breaking eighth title to Max Verstappen in 2021 in controversial fashion.
Hamilton has not won a race since Jeddah that year, making it the longest he has ever gone in his career without a win.
Mercedes have struggled with the new regulations to build him and team-mate George Russell a competitive car, with Russell claiming the team’s only win to date in this era in Brazil in 2022.

Hamilton: ‘Probably better to take sabbatical’
Speaking with formule1.nl about whether he will end his career after another title, Hamilton responded: “I never said that an eighth title would be the end point. And I don’t know what follows after driving in Formula 1.
“I don’t necessarily feel the desire to remain active in Formula 1 any longer, but as I said before: never say ‘never’.
Speculation has grown that Hamilton may retire from F1 soon
“I can’t imagine not driving anymore and still being in a pit box somewhere. I would probably think: ‘I could stick with it for another year, then I can still participate.’
“So it would probably be better to take a sabbatical and then see if I would still like to come back.”
