Speaking at the press conference ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, the 41-year-old Briton addressed a growing narrative about his future, insisting that he remains fully committed to the sport and his new team.\n\nHamilton's switch to Ferrari at the beginning of 2025 was one of the most talked-about moves in F1 history, but the exact length of his deal had been kept under wraps. On Thursday, he clarified the situation, stating, \"I'm still under contract, so everything's 100 per cent clear to me. I'm still focused, I'm still motivated. I still love what I do with all my heart, and I'm going to be here for quite some time, so get used to it.\" He added that he is already planning for his career beyond the next five years, signaling that his tenure in the sport could extend well beyond his current agreement.\n\nThe comments came as a direct response to what Hamilton perceives as a concerted effort to push him toward retirement. \"There's a lot of people that are trying to retire me, and that's not even all my thoughts,\" he said. This external pressure has likely been amplified by his challenging debut campaign with Ferrari. In 2025, Hamilton endured a winless season and, for the first time in his illustrious career, failed to secure a single podium finish. The slump raised questions about whether the most successful driver in F1 history—with 105 race wins and 104 pole positions—had passed his peak.\n\nHowever, the 2026 season has offered glimpses of a revival. Hamilton claimed his first podium with the Scuderia at the Chinese Grand Prix, finishing third in a race that hinted at the partnership's potential. Yet consistency has remained elusive; in the subsequent rounds in Japan and Miami, he struggled to match the pace of teammate Charles Leclerc, fueling further debate about his form.\n\nIn Montreal, Hamilton offered an alternative measure of achievement, one that moves beyond traditional metrics. \"From the outside world results are what people call success, but I think internally, for me, it's just progress. If you're progressing, then you're succeeding,\" he explained. This introspective perspective underscores a driver who is recalibrating his expectations and focusing on incremental improvements rather than chasing the ghost of his past dominance. He revealed that he rarely thinks about his records, preferring to channel his energy into daily self-improvement.\n\nPart of that recalibration involves a shift in his preparation methods. Hamilton disclosed that he has opted not to use Ferrari's simulator ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, breaking from the intensive virtual work he put in over the last 18 months. \"Since last year, I used it every week, and more often than not, I felt, you do all the work on the sim and you get to the track, you find a setup that you're comfortable with, you get to the track, and it's everything opposite, so then you're undoing the things you've learned,\" he said. His decision was influenced by his experience in China, where foregoing the simulator led to his strongest weekend in red.\n\nInstead, Hamilton is diving deep into data analysis, working closely with his engineers to optimize brake balance and cornering approaches—areas that have been problematic. He emphasized that the simulator remains a valuable tool, particularly for power deployment, but for now he is testing a hypothesis that less virtual practice might yield better real-world results. This flexible approach highlights a veteran driver willing to adapt his long-established routines.\n\nFor Ferrari, Hamilton's long-term commitment provides much-needed stability as the team chases its first drivers' title since 2007. His presence guarantees continuity, and his public dismissal of retirement talk should quell speculation about an early exit. The challenge now is to translate progress into podium finishes and eventually race wins, a feat that has so far eluded him in the iconic red car.\n\nThe Canadian Grand Prix weekend offers an immediate opportunity to test this refined approach. The schedule includes a Sprint format, with practice and Sprint Qualifying on Friday, the Sprint race and main qualifying on Saturday, and the Grand Prix on Sunday. Hamilton's performance in Montreal will be closely scrutinized for signs that his new methods are bearing fruit.\n\nUltimately, Hamilton's message is one of defiance and long-term vision. By confirming his contract through 2027 and hinting at plans for the next half-decade, he has drawn a clear line under any retirement chatter. His focus on progress over results may redefine how his later career is judged, but for now, he remains a formidable figure determined to add to his legacy.
