Lewis Hamilton reveals why he stopped chasing material things “We live in such a materialistic world, so learning to detach yourself from that and know that it's moments with special people, it's moments with your family, with your loved ones, with your friends that are what you get to take with you when life comes to an end” “I truly believe that it's those memories that linger, not what you had or what you were able to attain. I think that was something that took me a long time to learn” “Whilst I still have things, I've actually tried to unclutter my life because we hold on to so many things. So just decluttering your life and making it more simple” “That's why I love to go surfing. That's the most tranquil thing that I get to do, sit in the ocean and sometimes just sit and ponder about life and what I'm going to do next. That's my getaway” “I think people have to find that balance of work because if you just work, work, work and you don't replenish your energy with positive things, then you will just continue to be breaking yourself down. So I try and find that balance. I think everyone needs to do that”
