Lauda: Hamilton will remain at Mercedes

Niki Lauda remains positive and optimistic the current World Champion Lewis Hamilton will eventually sign a deal to stay at Mercedes.

Contract talks between Hamilton and Mercedes have seemed to rumble on forever now, and Lauda suggests “it’s just about the details” before a deal can be finalised.

“Lewis will continue to drive for us,” confirmed the F1 legend.

It’s rumoured that Ricciardo will move to either Mercedes or Ferrari. With Bottas only on a 1-year deal, it’s likely that Mercedes have been planning this for a while.
