Lewis Hamilton has revealed that he's close to signing a new deal with Mercedes amid increasing speculation over his future.
The legendary British driver, 38, is out of contract at the end of this season but is nearing a successful conclusion in negotiations after making it clear that he wanted to stay with his current team for years to come. Rumours swirled earlier this week that Hamilton had been offered a £40million per year package to join Ferrari, a claim which team principal Frederic Vasseur has now denied.
"You know that at this stage of the season you will have each week a different story [about driver changes] and we are not sending an offer to Lewis Hamilton," Vasseur stated. "We didn't do it."
