Hamilton recently launched a new non-alcoholic tequila drink, with the Brit expanding his empire off the track.

The 38-year-old has now revealed he’s gone sober as he looks to get back to his best following Red Bull’s dominance over the past two seasons.

Hamilton admitted he’s seeking “that extra one per cent”, as he continues to perform at the top level of the sport.

The British legend told Vogue: “I don’t know if I’m going to drink again.

“Since I’ve stopped drinking, I’ve just been feeling so much better, so much more clarity.

“There is pressure to drink within a social setting. You have one shot and feel like ‘Damn, why did I do that?’ when you get home.

“I was like, wow, that’s kind of crazy how I’m feeling pressured.

“And I realised, how can I be feeling pressure at 38? Imagine young 18 year olds.”

Hamilton has endured another frustrating season with Mercedes, with the British star lying third in the World Championship standings.

The Silver Arrows’ torrid time was epitomised at the Brazil GP last week, after Hamilton finished eighth and George Russell retired on lap 58 of 71.

Meanwhile, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen has cruised to the world title with the Dutchman leading on 524 points following 17 race wins.

The penultimate race of the season will see Las Vegas’ debut in the sport on November 18, with the Abu Dhabi hosting the 2023 finale on November 26.
