LEWIS HAMILTON has rubbished suggestions he lived “a playboy” lifestyle – but says he now enjoys staying in. He said: “People have, over the years, assumed many things in terms of how my lifestyle is. “But this year has just been different – hardly any traveling, which has actually been quite pleasant, not being pulled left, right and centre. “I’ve been at home more than I’ve ever been in my entire life probably, this year, and it’s nice. “That’s a positive of this year, being able to have the time off from things that I don’t really want to do anyway. “There are commitments and things that I commit to that I don’t always want to do, but it is part of the machine that we are involved in. “But this year a lot of those things have disappeared and at the core of me is motor racing. “Do I want to continue for three years is also a question.
