Formula One sensation Lewis Hamilton is eyeing a groundbreaking year ahead after celebrating his 40th birthday this week.
Having made headlines with his move to Ferrari at the dawn of the new year, the acclaimed Brit and seven-time world champion has expressed his aim to shatter records by clinching an eighth F1 title after leaving Mercedes for Scuderia in 2025.
Despite his last championship triumph dating back to 2020 and a seventh-place finish in his final season with Mercedes, Hamilton is determined to outperform expectations in the approaching season, starting at the Australian Grand Prix in March, WalesOnline reports.
Joining the elite group of F1 drivers who continue racing into their 40s this century, Hamilton aspires to replicate Nigel Mansell’s 1994 success and claim victory in a fifth decade.
