Hamilton still doesn’t give information about his Mercedes contract

Lewis Hamilton still hasn’t signed a new contract with Mercedes, who had hoped the deal would be done before the Canadian Grand Prix.

Both parties have reportedly been in advanced talks, but haven’t yet reached a definite solution.

When asked about the ongoing situation, Hamilton was unusually preserved in Thursday’s media statement.

“I’ve seen Toto, we’ve talked several times,” said Hamilton. “Yeah. Nothing else real to really add to it.”

It is quite a different picture to what team boss Toto Wolff had described two weeks earlier in Spain.

“It is going to happen soon, and we are talking more days than weeks,” Wolff said back then.

“We have such a good relationship that we dread the moment that we need to talk about money. From a team’s perspective, Lewis and Mercedes have gone back a long time.”

Hamilton is in his last year of his contract and will be looking for a new multi-year deal. The 38-year-old joined the Silver Arrows back in 2013 and has enjoyed immense success with them , winning 6 Championships and 82 victories, a record for a driver in a single team.
