After winning everything in F1, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton has taken to social media and put up a cryptic post. The 38-year-old wrote to Instagram that he feels like ‘stopping’ some days.
However, he did not specify what he thought of stopping or what keeps him going to achieve his ‘mission’. One possibility is that the Briton is considering retirement. Meanwhile, another possibility is that Hamilton has pondered on stopping his ‘mission’ to improve social equality.
Hamilton has been very vocal about making F1 more inclusive and providing opportunities for underprivileged children. Over the past few years, alongside his F1 career, he has also begun various initiatives, such as Ignite and Mission 44, to achieve his goal.

Hamilton believes there’s more to life than just winning races
In recent years, Lewis Hamilton has always explained how he believes that he is in this world for a reason and that his life is worth far more than just winning races. The Briton has described starting Mission 44 as arguably his greatest achievement in various interviews.
During an interview with Channel 4 Sport last year, Hamilton said, “For a long time, I have been winning races, but I felt something was missing here.” He believes it was vital for him to use his position of power to help address some of the pressing concerns in society, such as addressing inequalities and racial discrimination.
Lewis on F1:”I hope that I’m always a part of it..I don’t know how’s that’s going to be maybe we’ll always be with mission 44.. maybe I’ll be part of a team, maybe it’ll be finding the next young kid that comes from nothing & giving them an opportunity”
