Getting older

Hamilton starts the season as a 35-year-old. He is expected to sign a two-year contract extension with Mercedes which will see him through until he turns 38 in January 2023. During the winter, he has spoken about how fresh he feels. He believes some of this is down to his new vegan diet.
