Lewis Hamilton has admitted he sees his long-term future at Mercedes and wants to stay for "longer" than another year despite enduring a tough season so far.
Hamilton, 38, finished sixth at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Sunday to remain fourth in the Drivers Standings behind Fernando Alonso, Sergio Perez and leader Max Verstappen.
He has picked up 48 points from four races and remains in the running for a record eighth World Championship title, although Red Bull and Verstappen's form have put the Dutchman in pole position for another crown.
