00:00 such a personal decision. I retired at 30 years old. He wants to carry on. You know,
00:08 that's such a personal decision. You know, he's got to do what he wants to do. If he's enjoying
00:14 it and he wants to, he does it. Yeah, he's not, he's doing a good job too. I thought Russell would
00:20 be quicker. But you know, Lewis is, you know, he's quick, he's doing a good job. I think there's
00:27 nothing else but, you know, one of the top drivers of all time. You can't win that many
00:32 World Championships and not be recognised as an all-time great. But you know, some people get off
00:41 at the wrong time, you know, they carry on and want to hold on to it and hold on to it until,
00:45 you know, they lose that, what people think in a way, they forget some of the other stuff that
00:52 happened before. I'd put them all in the same category, you know. I think Lewis was a cleaner
00:58 driver than Schumacher in his tactics and stuff. He was more, let's call it, a gentleman on the
01:08 track than Schumacher was, which, you know, I commend him for that.
