Lewis Hamilton has touted the sensational prospect of racing into his 50s ahead of the Miami Grand Prix this weekend.
Hamilton is out of contract at Mercedes at the end of the season but is not yet ready for retirement.
When asked about the idea of competing in F1 in his fifties, potentially alongside Alonso, he replied: “You can never say never."
"There are people out there like Tom Brady (US quarterback who retired aged 45)," Hamilton added.
"There are different ways you can train, how you can eat, and your focus.
"The technology in our bodies is shifting, and it is just about the mentality and whether or not you still have the drive to sacrifice the same as you did when you first started, and I do."
Thought this would cheer you up Forza
I'm a big Lewis fan but when the speed goes I hope he realises it & go's out with his reputation intact.
