7Hamilton played a family game of Twister – but showed his competitive spirit

But the seven-time champion was still all smiles as he hit the slopes with his family.

Hamilton, 37, smiled in a selfie with his niece and nephew as well as showing off his dad Anthony in action.

The Mercedes star is level with Michael Schumacher as the most successful F1 drivers ever. But Hamilton is desperate for a record-breaking eighth and his competitiveness knows no bounds – even when it comes to games night.

He uploaded an adorable video playing Twister with his niece and nephew but jokingly assured his fans: “I won.”

The F1 pilot had earlier been teaching his young relations how to ski at the exclusive resort.

Hamilton is contracted to Merc until the end of 2023 and has previously declared he would not like to race in F1 beyond 40.

That would leave Hamilton with two or three seasons left in the sport and Mercedes chief Toto Wolff is keen to make sure the Brit finishes with the team.

He told F1’s Beyond the Grid podcast: “Certainly, Lewis’ contract is one of the topics that we will tackle over the winter.

“There’s no firm deadline. Absolutely, Lewis is part of the team and the team is part of Lewis.

“[There is] no reason [for that] to not continue. I think one of his strengths is that he’s always hungry, always eager.

“He’s a great sportsman but he’s also someone who is extremely driven and determined.”
