Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has insisted that Lewis Hamilton's new contract merely needs to be signed and dated following speculation Ferrari would attempt to steal him.
Hamilton's current deal will expire at the end of the season and the Silver Arrows are keen to bring him back next year. It has been a difficult few seasons for the team since Hamilton's last title win in 2020, though he does sit fourth in this year's standings.
The Englishman's future took a fresh twist in the build-up to last weekend's Monaco Grand Prix with reports Ferrari could mount a move to bring Hamilton to the Scuderia. Both Wolff and Hamilton have played down those rumours though.
