Lewis Hamilton will stick with Mercedes for the rest of his Formula 1 career despite the team's struggles, according to one of the Brit's former team-mates.
The Brit has made no secret of his desire to finally win that eighth world title to move beyond Michael Schumacher in the all-time rankings. He has even suggested in recent times that he won't retire from F1 until he has become champion one more time.
But he was a long way off the championship fight last year as Mercedes made a mess of their car development and spent the season playing catch-up. Hamilton will have hoped to be back battling at the front again with this team, but again it looks like the Silver Arrows will not play a major role in the title race.
