F1, Lewis Hamilton: imminent announcement on the future

Negotiations between Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes have come to a close: according to Toto Wolff’s statement, the announcement of the agreement between the two parties on renewal is expected to come within days.

“I think it’s more about days than weeks, but if I commit to a date now, then everyone will ask in Montreal over the weekend what happened to the days.”

“We are still talking; we get this question virtually every race weekend. We have such a good relationship that we fear the time when we will have to talk about money. It will happen soon. From the team’s point of view, Lewis and Mercedes have known each other for a long time; he has never raced for a brand other than Mercedes. He and I came in together in 2013, it’s been 10 years, and we went from a professional relationship to a friendship. It has been a wonderful time. He is the most important personality in the sport. He is so multifaceted not only in racing, but also off the track, and we need to keep him in the sport as long as possible,” Wolff told CNBC.
