Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has provided an update on a new contract for Lewis Hamilton. As it stands, the seven-time world champion has a contract with the Brackley-based team until the end of next season.
He is likely to extend his contract with the Silver Arrows beyond next year, which would likely see him remain in F1 beyond his 40th birthday. Wolff remains “absolutely” confident the motorsport legend will pen a new deal. Speaking on F1’s ‘Beyond the Grid’ podcast, Wolff revealed that Hamilton’s new contract is a top priority over the winter.
“Well the job list is pretty long with what needs to be done,” the Austrian said. “But certainly Lewis’ contract is one of the topics that we will tackle over the winter. There is no firm deadline. Absolutely. Lewis is part of the team and the team is part of Lewis. No reason to not continue.”
