Hamilton and Wolff plan negotiations: "We haven’t started a conversation"

With the official announcement of Sergio Perez at Red Bull Racing, there remains one seat that is not yet fixed for 2021 and that is that of Lewis Hamilton. We can assume that the world champion will be there next season, but the contract negotiations are taking a very long time.

"We haven’t started a conversation", says Hamilton to The Race when asked about the progress of the contract negotiations. “Toto and I planned to do that over the coming days, we’ve been moving quite a bit over the past days travel-wise."

So there is still some uncertainty surrounding Lewis Hamilton's contract. What has now been established is that Hamilton will continue to have frequent dealings with Toto Wolff after these talks. The Austrian has signed up as team boss of Mercedes for three years. A fact that Hamilton is very happy with.
