Lewis Hamilton hinted at wild career change from F1 to enter Olympics

Hamilton is a proven master of his craft, with the Brit having won a record seven Drivers’ Championship titles.

Hamilton will bring an end to a 12-year stint with Mercedes this season when he makes the move to Ferrari ahead of the 2025 campaign.

But the F1 driver has already turned his attention to life after motorsport, with Hamilton teasing he could be tempted by a surprise switch to one Olympic sport.

In an interview with CNN, the 37-year-old said: “So, I have a really good friend, Miles Chamley-Watson, who’s competing in fencing.

“We’ve been supporting each other all the time, and we talk pretty much every day. So, I know how hard he’s been working, and I would love to be with him on that.

“But I’m also aware of me being present at certain events. For example, if I go see my brother’s race, I know how much extra pressure it brings. So, I haven’t committed to it yet.”

Hamilton was then quizzed on whether he’d like to see motorsport make a return to the Games, having last featured an on Olympic programme in 1936.
