I don’t have time for it,” the Mercedes driver said. “When you travel as much as I do it’s hard to keep up a relationship, so I’m of the mindset that I’m not going to do that until I’ve stopped and no longer have to be so single-minded. “I want to have kids, but I want to be there for them — to be a good and present dad — but I’d be open to it if I happened to come across somebody special. ”In the meantime, Lewis is kept busy looking after his beloved dog Roscoe.
