Lewis Hamilton has made the startling admission that he does not like driving on normal roads because he finds it too stressful.
Speaking to Vanity Fair magazine an article published on Monday, the seven-time Formula One world champion said: “I just think that I find it stressful. I try not to do things that don’t add to my life.”

While negotiating the busy streets near Nice in his Mercedes Smart car, Hamilton told his interviewer: “Look, we’re on these roads, anything can happen.” Later, as the traffic built up, he went on to say: “This is now stressful for me. This road is crazy. So much going on here. I’m going to turn around in a second.”
Hamilton also admitted he considered quitting F1 after the season finale in Abu Dhabi last year, when a controversial interpretation of the rules resulted in Max Verstappen denying the British driver an eighth championship. “I don’t know if I can really put into words the feeling that I had,” the British driver said.
