For those who took it for granted un training camp imminent Lewis Hamilton, will actually have to change his mind. In fact, the seven-times world champion has no intention of stopping and, after a not exceptional year, is already focused on the 2023 season.
Simply Sir Lewis
Hamilton's contract is due to expire next year but the season that took place this year and the passion of the number 44 takes more than numbers, points and classification. Hamilton believes enormously in potential of the car for next year and has no plans to stop. Indeed, according to the latest, English is ready to renew for another two years with the Mercedes, bringing his contract into deadline since 2024.
Toto Wolff: "We'll talk about it during the winter break"
The intention to move forward is both in the head of the team and in that of Lewis. This is certified by the team principal Toto Wolff who also admitted when the details of the extension will be discussed with Sir.
“We haven't started talking to Lewis yet. We definitely want to finish the season and then find some time, some quiet over the winter, like we did last time, and start trading over the winter break. Now Lewis is much more than a driver for us. Even if we're not talking about a guy at the end of his career, it is also important to talk about his role as an ambassador for Mercedes and the many sponsors we have. But also the impact it can have on our audience”.
Hamilton confesses: "I want to renew"
We will therefore talk about it during the winter break, with Lewis who has already shown his desire to continue racing in the top category for some time now.
“My goal is to continue racing with Mercedes. I've been with Mercedes since I was 13. It really is my family. Mercedes-Benz is my family. They stood by me through thick and thin, stood by me when I got expelled from school, stood by me through everything that happened in 2020, stood by me when I made mistakes and when the press wrote bullshit. . Have remained with me through the ups and downs".
