There comes a point in every athlete’s life when they have to consider retirement. Lewis Hamilton is no exception. However, the Brit is not fazed by the next phase of his life. “Don’t think there’s anything that I can’t do,” says Hamilton! However, despite this go-getter attitude, there are certain things he can’t do. Although lessons from his friend Serena Williams should help him out.

Showcasing his champion’s spirit, Hamilton said, “I don’t think there’s anything that I can’t do if I’m really honest.” However, on a more humble note, he said, “It’s discovering what those are, then there’ll be a list. But there’s plenty of things I can’t do. Like I’m terrible at tennis.”

However, Hamilton did not count himself out. This is where he can use his friend Serena Williams‘ help. “If I have some lessons, I bet you any money I can be pretty good,” admitted Hamilton.

“I just feel like whatever it is, if I apply myself that way I have to my job that I still do today and have my whole career, I just honestly don’t think there’s anything that I can’t do,” he concluded on a positive note.
