F1 LIVE: Hamilton issues retirement ultimatum as Red Bull choose Perez replacement


Lewis Hamilton has declared that he won’t follow in the footsteps of Fernando Alonso by returning to F1 once he decides to call time on his illustrious career.

Alonso and Michael Schumacher are just two of the sport’s iconic drivers to have made a comeback after their initial retirement with Sebastian Vettel now hinting he could do something similar.

However, Hamilton has no plans to do that himself once he eventually decides to retire from F1.

“That will not happen to me,” Hamilton told Blick.

“When the chapter is over, that’s when it’s over. I can’t imagine standing in the paddock or in the garage – without then getting into a car. But as I’ve said before: never say never.”
