October 27, (THEWILL) – The revelation that contract negotiations will soon start between Sir Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes, means that the British race driver will be extending his time with the Formula 1 unit.
Despite the fact that Hamilton’s current £40 million deal is set to expire at the end of the upcoming season, it seems like he still has a lot of racing left in him. The 38-year-old revealed that negotiations for a new contract to further extend his term with Mercedes will start soon.
Speaking extensively about these plans, Hamilton said: “We are going to do another deal. We are going to sit down and discuss it in the next couple of months. I want to keep racing. I love what I do. I’ve been doing it for 30 years, and I don’t feel that I should have to stop. I think I am currently still earning my keep. I still want to do better.
“I could stop now and I have lots of other things in the pipeline that I will be super-focused and super-busy with. I’m here for the sheer love of working in the organisation that I’m in. So you are stuck with me for quite a bit longer. My goal is to continue to be with Mercedes. I’ve been with Mercedes since I was 13. It really is my family.
“Mercedes-Benz have stuck with me through thick and thin. They stuck with me through being expelled at school. They stuck with me through everything that was going on through 2020. They’ve stuck with me through my mistakes and through the ups and downs.”
