Seven-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton pointed to seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady as a role model for longevity in sports after signing a deal to continue racing into his 40s.

Former champion Mercedes announced on Thursday that the Briton, who turns 39 next January, will continue with the team in 2024 and 2025.

Brady, now 46, had a 23-year playing career as an NFL quarterback before finally retiring in February.
