Lewis Hamilton doesn't plan on emulating sporting greats like Tom Brady and Roger Federer by competing in his 40s.

I'm 37 and haven't thought about that number. Hamilton said Saturday that he didn't plan on being here.

He has a contract with Mercedes until the end of next season, when he will be 38. It is not known if he will extend the two-year deal he signed last July.

The 44-year-old Brady is widely regarded as the greatest quarterback in football history, while the 20-time Grand Slam champion Federer will be 41 if he comes back to play in late summer as planned after knee surgery.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is playing well for AC Milan after returning from injury, and the imposing 40-year-old Swede is playing well for the title contender.

Hamilton is the all-time leader in wins and pole positions in F1 with 103 and is tied with Michael Schumacher for the most titles.

Others in F1 have hit 40.

Fernando Alonso is 40 years old and he is still driving for the Alpine team, which took a podium last season. At the end of last season, Kimi Raikkonen decided to retire at the age of 42.

It sounds like Hamilton won't be on track when he's his age because of his wide-ranging interests in fashion, music, and his dedication to environmental and human rights issues.

He told reporters at the pre-season testing that he would have something to get on with.

He is close to Serena Williams, who is still looking to equal Margaret Court's all-time record of 24 majors.
