F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali says Lewis Hamilton “wants to achieve his dream of being the only driver to have won an eighth title”, and adds he expects Mercedes to gain performance “very, very soon”.
At 38 years old, Lewis Hamilton is the second oldest driver on the current F1 grid, behind only Fernando Alonso.
However, Lewis isn’t showing any signs of stopping anytime soon, as he said on numerous occasions that he wants to continue driving for years to come.
When asked what he thinks Lewis should do after his current Mercedes contract expires at the end of the year, Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali said he wants the Briton to stay.
“I’d like him to stay in the sport 100 per cent, 100 per cent… 1,000 per cent!” he told the Daily Mail.
“I don’t want to give Lewis any advice because that would be disrespectful to Toto [Wolff]. And Lewis has such deep experience that I’m sure he doesn’t need my input because he knows what he wants.

“He loves our sport. He has been in it since he was a child. Now his role in F1 is getting bigger than an F1 world champion, given the way he gets involved in a lot of things outside the sport and takes an active role in society. He takes us towards new dimensions.
“But his love is Formula One, and, of course, he wants to achieve his dream of being the only driver to have won an eighth title.
“Toto is totally focused on making Mercedes improve. He told me he made adjustments within the team to be sure that there is the right intensity to gain performance as soon as possible.
“I am sure this will happen very, very soon,” Domenicali concluded.
