And could Formula E also become its own future? "So far Formula 1 has always been everything to me. I've been racing since I was eight years old. If I quit Formula 1, like any rider who breaks Formula 1, I'll have massive withdrawal symptoms. That's why there are other series that I could contest. Fernando Alonso is currently doing IndyCar. Gary Paffett is a bit older than me and now drives Formula E. That will be the future. So who knows? "

Although Scuderia from Maranello has not won yet, the season is anything but decisive for Hamilton. "The battle remains intense," he believes. "Ferrari is at eye level. Maybe some of the upcoming tracks are more, who knows. Ferrari has a good car, they just do not get everything out of him. But we all have highs and lows. We therefore have to make sure that we continue to make progress. "
