While playing golf with the NFL legend, Hamilton reflected on his own F1 career and spoke about racing in his 40s. “I still feel fresh and still feel young, to be honest, even though I’m around all these youngsters here. So, I don’t think that’s going to be the deciding factor whether I continue or not. I plan to be here,” said Lewis.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback is a great example of playing at the highest level, even in his twilight years. He just shows that if you continue to work hard in your discipline, you can outlast most opponents.

This could serve as an inspiration for Hamilton who, too, is approaching the final years of his racing career, but shares the same amount of love and passion as Brady. So there is no reason why the Mercedes driver cannot take inspiration from the quarterback and prolong his career.
