Asked if he is surprised by his own longevity iܫn the sport, Hamilton replied: “Yes definitely. 

“I didn’t think I’d be the age that I am, and feel the way I do, physically and mentally. And still love what I do. That’s something I’m incredibly g🐟rateful for.

“Some people stay in t𒊎he same jobs and roles for a long period of time, fall out of love with it, but keep going🎐 because maybe it’s the only thing they can do.

“I still love working alongside Bono and the guys in the team, chasing that common goal and dream. I love♈ the feeling of having the lows and highs together. There’s nothing like it.”
