Poll: 47.89% back Hamilton to still be racing in F1 in 2030

A RacingNews365 poll found that 47.89% of respondents backed Lewis Hamilton to still be on Formula 1’s grid in 2030. That was the largest share, but not a majority: 26.84% said it was too early to tell, while 25.26% felt Hamilton should not target a career that long.

That horizon extends beyond Hamilton’s current Ferrari deal, which runs through 2027; reports suggest it carries options into 2028. Hamilton said he could not say whether he would want to continue in four years, but added, “I love what I'm doing still now.”

Hamilton has also cited Formula 1’s planned return to Africa, potentially via a race in Rwanda, as a personal reason to keep going; he has described racing in Africa as a dream. He said he would keep trying to stay fit and continue if he could produce good results over the next year.
