Lewis Hamilton says he has absolutely no desire to venture outside of Formula 1 in his motorsport career, and has no interest in ever competing at Le Mans or in IndyCar.
The Mercedes driver, who is on the verge of clinching his fourth world title, is expected to extend his contract with the German manufacturer until at least 2020.
While he hasn’t defined any plans for when he will retire from F1, the Briton believes that when he calls it a day, it will likely spell the end of his racing career.

“I don’t have any desires to do any other racing,” Hamilton said.
“By the time l stop it could be 30 years. Everything else is a step down the ladder.

“There is no other racing series that l have any desire to drive – which is a shame,” added the 32-year-old.
“I wish l had more passion to do an Indy Car or a Le Mans. But there is zero, there is nothing. I have more exciting things outside which l am passionate about.”
Hamilton’s view differs from that of Fernando Alonso who has made clear his desire to race at Le Mans after tackling the Indy 500 earlier this year, and where he hopes to return sometime in the future.
“I’ve always respected [Indy 500] and appreciated it and I got to watch part of it when Fernando did it, which was super exciting. I love the idea of drivers being able to do more than one series.
“I have a huge amount of respect for those drivers; it’s quite scary when you approach those banks at the speed that they do.
