Lewis Hamilton is claiming podiums more often than ever. Thus, the Formula 1 community has raised complaints of a predictable season. There were seasons where the championship fight was between multiple drivers. The championship fight would go all the way to the last lap of the season.
This season was nowhere close to delivering such a competition. Hamilton and Mercedes won their seventh championship this season, with multiple races remaining. Hamilton is out of contract at the end of this season.
He stemmed massive conversation after his comment at the end of Emilia Romagna GP. He hinted at a possible retirement at the end of this season. However, he set the rumors to rest at the end of the Turkish Grand Prix, where he stated he still feels young.

Meanwhile, Mercedes and Hamilton still have to conclude a new contract to move further. The contract negotiations are reported to start after the season ends. However, Hamilton has clarified that he does not want to travel a lot.
“This year’s shown that, for example, you can work from home,” he told the BBC. “So I’m sure there’ll be a lot of Zoom dates in the contract rather than actual present days which means I have to fly less.”
