At the end of his contract with Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton has sent a strong signal regarding his future.
For several weeks, Lewis Hamilton has been the subject of many rumors. It must be said that the seven-time world champion sees his lease with Mercedes come to an end at the end of the season. A situation that arouses the interest of other teams, starting with Ferrari. Yes but now, the Briton, he sees himself for many more years within the German firm, despite the difficulties encountered for two seasons.
“It’s always a team of winners! It’s just that the car is not a winner’s car at the moment, recalled the 38-year-old pilot in a long interview with the daily The team. But not all of these people suddenly lost their abilities. We just made a mistake on this car and with these new regulations, it is neither easy nor quick to correct it. The big improvements made in Monaco are a first step and it goes in the right direction. It takes time but I have total confidence in the guys to win again, even if it’s not for now that we will be able to fight with Red Bull. Next year’s car must be capable of this! »
“I am very motivated to be there for the next five years”
“We are working on renewing my contract, continued Hamilton. Now I have people who manage that for me. And I’m very happy with the way it’s going and where it’s leading. (…) We are working with Toto (Wolff) to finalize all this. If it takes a little longer, it’s because we want to improve things for the future. (…) I’m very motivated to be there for the next five years. That’s my goal. I know where I am and I know where we are going. » The message has the merit of being clear. It remains to be seen whether he will calm the rumors about his future.
