- GPblog.com
Toto Wolff and Lewis Hamilton are yet to put pen to paper on new deals with Mercedes. Wolff believes it is important that both titles are wrapped up before any decisions are made.
Dealing with the pressure
"I think the drivers are always under pressure to perform and he's been coping well with that in the past," Wolff said at the FIA press conference.
Negotiations
With the Constructors' Championship sealed, all eyes are on securing Hamilton's seventh World Championship, which he could earn this weekend.
"I think it was important to make sure that we have both titles secured and then have a more relaxed approach to the discussion about the future.
"We would like him in the car and I think he wants to drive the Mercedes - because it's competitive."
