Lewis Hamilton has offered the biggest hint yet that he will extend his stay with Mercedes beyond the 2023 F1 season.
The seven-time world champion, 38, is going into the final year of his contract with Mercedes and speculation has continued over whether this will be his last season in the sport.
Hamilton failed to win a single race in 2022 as Max Verstappen secured back-to-back world titles for Red Bull, but there is a hope the gap will be closed when the new season gets underway in March.
