Former Formula One chief executive Bernie Ecclestone reckons Lewis Hamilton is a chance of retiring from the sport following his dramatic 2021 title fight with Max Verstappen

Hamilton was denied a record eighth championship at the season finale in Abu Dhabi, after Verstappen passed him on the last lap to collect his maiden title.

Ecclestone has told German newspaper Blick he doesn't think Hamilton will race next year due to the disappointment.

Ecclestone adds it's the perfect time for him to fulfil his dream of being a fashion entrepreneur.
