Lewis Hamilton says he has four reasons not to walk away from Formula 1 as he bids to end his career-record winless run.

“I remember the first win I had with this team [in Hungary in 2013]. I have a particular picture of 2015 in Australia with the [team] down there in tears – it was just amazing to be a part of that.

I don’t know how far that can go and I’m trying to expand it, and that means I’ve got to raise more money.
