Compare and contrast 41-year-old Lewis Hamilton and 28-year-old Max Verstappen and their thoughts about their future in F1.
In Montreal, Hamilton, responding to rumours that he might use the British GP to announce his retirement could hardly have been clearer in batting that away. “No. I’m going to be here for quite some time, so get used to it,” he said. “There’s a lot of people that are trying to retire me and that’s not even on my thoughts. I’m already thinking of what will be next, planning for the next five years. But yeah, still plan to be here for some time.”
