In an interview, Lewis Hamilton talked candidly about his personal life and future plans for his family—including Toto Wolff.
In an obvious indication that he’s not ready to start dating just yet, Lewis Hamilton has acknowledged his wish to have children but maintains that he still has unfinished business in Formula One. The racing star is infamously secretive about his personal life; the only relationship that the public is aware of is his sporadic relationship with Nicole Scherzinger, the former vocalist of Pussycat Dolls.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, the 39-year-old, who is not yet married, talked candidly about his future goals. When asked if he would consider starting a family, he said, “One day,” but it would prevent him from doing what he does now to the same extent.
“I’m noticing how crazy it is since one of my closest friends recently gave birth. My nephew and nieces are also quite lively. I am very excited about that part. There will be a place and a time for it. But I have work to do right now.
After announcing the significant move earlier this year, Hamilton, who is currently in his final year with Mercedes, is expected to join Ferrari in 2025. Hamilton acknowledged that it was “terrifying” to inform Mercedes boss Toto Wolff about his decision to leave the Silver Arrows, despite being a seven-time champion and one of the best drivers in Formula One history, according to the Mirror.
“Since I signed the contract, I’ve been on an emotional rollercoaster—telling my boss was scary,” Hamilton said. However, the reason it excites me so much is that I grew up watching Michael Schumacher. Every driver is staring at that vehicle and wondering, “How would it feel to be in the red cockpit?”
Hamilton has won two races this season even though Mercedes isn’t as dominant as it was three years ago. He boldly asserts that he is still sharper than his younger rivals and declares that, at 39, he is in better shape than in his 2007 debut year.
“Physically and mentally, I’m in such a good place,” Hamilton continued. I still have faster reaction times than the young guys. I believe my driving has improved since I was 22. I was just a young, ruthless, and exuberant person with no grace or balance. I had no idea how to lead or work well in a team. Being the most well-rounded racing driver is more important than just being quick.”
