Lewis Hamilton vows to keep on racing

Lewis Hamilton believes he can race on until he is 40 after rejecting his own suggestion that he could stun Formula One by retiring at the end of the season.

In an interview published on the eve of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Hamilton, who trails championship leader Sebastian Vettel by 12 points, hinted he may turn his back on motor racing and follow his long-term rival Nico Rosberg into retirement.

Hamilton, 32, has lofty ambitions of harbouring a music career. He also revealed his bucket list in which he hopes to scale Mount Everest, become a better chef, and learn another language.
