Lewis Hamilton has revealed his plans for when he retires from F1.
The Brit isn't planning on walking away from the sport any time soon, having recently signed a new contract with Mercedes.
Hamilton also recently revealed his plans to have children were still on hold and that he was solely focused on F1.
And the Formula One veteran has now stated he'd love to ride motorbikes for leisure, while also trying surfing and parachute jumping.

“I don’t feel the urge to enter other competitions after F1,” the Stevenage-born racer told French TV broadcaster Canal+.
“I love watching races like Le Mans, it looks incredible.
"I love Moto, I’ve always loved MotoGP. I still do, I’ve got two superbikes.
“I think I’ll ride motorbikes, but not competitively.
"I’ve got lots of other things to do, I don’t think I’ll be doing any more competitions, at least not as a professional. It takes too much time.
“I’ll continue parachute jumping and surfing.”
Earlier this month Hamilton had said he wouldn't copy Michael Schumacher by retiring and then coming back to F1.
"That will not happen to me," said the 38-year-old.
“When the chapter is over, that’s when it’s over.
"I can’t imagine standing in the paddock or in the garage – without then getting into a car.
"But as I’ve said before: never say never.”
Hamilton has endured a difficult F1 season so far, with Max Verstappen securing the title for the third year on the trot.
And his immediate focus is on finishing second amid an exciting battle with Red Bull's Sergio Perez.
Hamilton hailed Verstappen over the weekend for his third successive triumph.
He said of his rival: "Max has been faultless and no-one can take that away from him.
"He has done an amazing job with the package he has."
Hamilton also insisted he had no problems with team-mate George Russell after the pair collided at the Qatar Grand Prix.
He also took responsibility for the incident, admitting Russell had 'nowhere to go' as a result of his driving.
"I think we are a great team. George and I still have a great relationship. We will discuss things and work away," he said. "I'm happy to take responsibility as the older guy.
"I don't think George had anywhere to go at that point.
"I was trying to get ahead of both of them and just an unfortunate situation.

"I had the worst tyre of everyone around me, so I needed to try and get ahead. Big risk, big penalty."
He added: "The relationship isn't broken.
"I don't have any problems with George, we have a great relationship, we work and we always talk about things.
"So this is definitely unfortunate and I'm sure he was frustrated in the moment like I was.
"But we will talk about it offline and we move forwards.
"As I said, just apologies to all of the team."
