Lewis Hamilton has opened up ahead of the new F1 season
The Brit has entered the final 12 months of his current deal but is apparently close to confirming an extension which will keep him with Mercedes until 2020.
However, there are suggestions the four-time world champion could soon call time on his illustrious career.
But he claims he wants to carry on in Formula One because he loves the competitiveness of the sport.
The buzz of the new season, which starts in Australia this weekend, is really kicking into gear and Hamilton explained how he feels in the build-up to the big day.
