Hamilton: I can definitely do five more years in F1

Five-time world champion Lewis Hamilton says he is still motivated enough to stay in Formula One for another five years in order to chase down Michael Schumacher's records.

Hamilton, 33, has won five world titles and 77 grands prix, putting him second only to Schumacher -- seven titles and 91 wins -- in F1's all-time records. He has won four of the last five drivers' championships and currently leads the 2019 standings by 17 points from teammate Valtteri Bottas.

Hamilton's contract with the dominant Mercedes team runs until the end of 2020 and he rarely talks about his plans beyond that date.
