Lewis Hamilton Wants To Act After F1 Career Ends 

Lewis Hamilton has said he wants to become an actor after his F1 career is over in an interview with DAZN F1. This comes after there is some speculation on his future, even though he has repeatedly stated a desire to race in 2022, with him even in the middle of contract renewal negotiations which have hit some roadblocks in the aftermath of the Monaco GP.

"I would like to act one day. I want to be the best, in everything I do, I want to be the best, to do the best I can. So, if I'm going to do a film I'll go to classes, I'll study and make sure I express the emotions like I should. I don't have the time right now, so I guess it's something I'll do when I retire" said the 36-year-old who is statistically the greatest F1 driver of all time.
