Toto Wolff hopes Lewis Hamilton can follow the example set by Tom Brady by adding to his silverware haul beyond his 40th birthday.
Hamilton turns 38 in January, and his current Mercedes contract expires at the end of next year. But despite previous suggestions that he would not want to remain in Formula 1 for too much longer, he now looks set to extend his stay.
After hints that he had changed his tune, Hamilton confirmed ahead of the Mexican Grand Prix weekend that he plans to continue with Mercedes. "We are going to do another deal," said the seven-time world champion. "We're going to sit down and we're going to discuss it in these next couple of months, I would say."
