Hamilton Sr establishes company amid increasing retirement discussions.

Hamilton Sr establishes company amid increasing retirement discussions.

      "I’m really looking forward to escaping from all this."

      The speculation surrounding Lewis Hamilton’s long-term future has grown stronger, following the revelation that his father and former manager, Anthony Hamilton, has discreetly established a new company in the UK.

      As per UK corporate records, Hamilton Sr has created a business called HybridV10, along with associated trademarks such as Hybrid World Series, Hybrid World Commission, Hybrid Grand Prix, and the HybridV10 World Motorsport Festival. The activities noted are in television production, advertising, and sports-related enterprises.

      There is no evidence that the seven-time world champion is directly tied to this venture, but the development has sparked theories that preparations may be underway for a project beyond Formula 1, as Hamilton approaches the last year of his contract with Ferrari after a challenging inaugural season with the team.

      At 40, Hamilton has already cultivated interests outside of racing, including his film production company Dawn Apollo Films, which recently released the Hollywood film F1, and his non-alcoholic tequila brand Almave, in addition to his Mission 44 charity.

      After the finale in Abu Dhabi, Hamilton expressed his desire to take a break. "I can’t wait to get away from all this," he stated. "Right now, I’m just looking forward to the time off. I want to disconnect completely, not talk to anyone. No one will be able to reach me during this winter."

      In response to reports suggesting that Hamilton’s detailed technical assessments have upset some members of Ferrari, team principal Frederic Vasseur sought to clarify the situation. "When I occasionally read in articles that we received reports from the drivers requesting changes, I must say that some people are somewhat naive about this," Vasseur remarked. "We get reports from the drivers after every race. It’s perfectly normal for a driver to send the team a report saying, 'Okay, we need to address this and that.'"
