The contract of the six-time world champion expires in a month and a half. While the Brit may be two days away from his seventh title, there is still no signature on any contract for the coming year. However, both parties do not seem to be worried yet. Hamilton himself said he was just looking for improvements to the contract.
Talking to Sky Sports, team boss Wolff says he is not worried about the continuation of the partnership: "We have a relationship based on mutual trust. We have regularly given each other positive signals. There is no reason for Lewis not to be in a car as competitive as the Mercedes."
