LEWIS HAMILTON has hinted that he didn't read his big-money contract and now has a "love-hate" relationship with Formula One.<\/p>\n
The seven-time world champion penned a two-year deal at Mercedes worth \u00a3100million in August.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
His improved contract means he will have a place on the grid in both the 2024 and 2025 seasons. <\/p>\n
Before signing the deal, there was speculation that Hamilton could move to Ferrari or retire. <\/p>\n
But instead the 38-year-old will be racing beyond his 40th birthday.<\/p>\n
Hamilton has revealed that he didn't realise his passion for F1 but maintained he's got an odd relationship with competing.<\/p>\n
He told outlet Blick: "I have to admit that I underestimated my love for this sport.<\/p>\n "But it's become a love-hate story. There are days when I would prefer not to get into the cockpit.<\/p>\n "The duels with my team-mate George Russell also give me motivation. You always have to be wide-awake."<\/p>\n Asked if he is aware of what is in his new Mercedes deal, Hamilton replied: "Of course. But it's over 200 pages or a damn book. And that takes you days.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n "There are so many details about my promotional activities.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI'm in a fortunate position with Toto Wolff.
