An elated Lewis Hamilton has indicated he has every intention of continuing in Formula One after securing his best finish of the season with second place at the French Grand Prix.

The seven-times champion insisted that despite his Mercedes being off the pace he was enjoying F1 more than ever, suggesting the 37-year-old could well race on beyond the end of his contract, which concludes at the end of next season.

The race at Paul Ricard was the 300th of Hamilton’s 16-year career in F1 but afterwards he emphasised that he was as energised as ever.

“I still feel fresh and there is plenty of fuel in the tank,” he said. “I am enjoying the process and arriving everyday and working with this group of people and I am enjoying working with this sport. There are some great people in this sport and I am enjoying my time more than ever.”
