Ferrari Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton has opened up about how "complicated" it is to have a love life amid the full-time commitment to the sport. Hamilton also spoke about his goal of securing an eighth world title with Ferrari, stressing that the team has all the necessary ingredients to make it happen.
Hamilton quit his 12-year association with Mercedes to chase the goal of winning a championship with a legendary team like Ferrari. However, since his Ferrari debut this season, the going hasn't been easy.
The seven-time world champion's love life has not been a complete secret. The years of his early success in F1 saw him linked to Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger. In recent years, he was linked to other popular names such as Shakira and Sofia Vergara.

Hamilton, however, has revealed that he remains committed to his goals, and with time running out, he has chosen to remain focused on Grand Prix racing over anything else. When asked by RTBF about the challenges of finding a partner who understands his passion and the difficulties that come in the way of having a private life, Hamilton said:
"Yes, it's very complicated, especially in today's world. I see other drivers and I wonder how they manage: some have children, are married, have girlfriends.
"I went through that when I was in my twenties. I made a different choice: I decided to maximize the time I have here because it's shorter than people think. I don't want to have any regrets, or think that I could have given more. For the last ten years, I've focused on my performance."
Hamilton suggested that he will be able to focus on the other areas of life after his F1 retirement. He said:
"And when I retire, I'll be able to do what I want. I'll be able to dedicate myself to other things without constraints."
But at the moment, the Ferrari driver is focused on achieving his dreams and goals. Listing them out, he added:
"As long as I'm competing, I stay focused on my health, my well-being, my mental health and my driving technique. I want to be the best engineer I can be and the best teammate too. That's my main goal: I want to win.
"I've been lucky enough to win with great teams in the past. With Mercedes, with McLaren, it was incredible. But my My dream is to win a title with Ferrari. It hasn't happened in a long time. Ferrari has all the ingredients to win, you just have to put it all together. That's what I'm trying to do behind the scenes with Fred Vasseur and the team."
