Spain:
Lewis Hamilton Sunday hinted that he could be ready to sign a new contract with Mercedes within days.
The seven-time world champion, who finished second for Mercedes behind defending world champion Max Verstappen at Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix, said he hoped to meet the team boss. This is Wolff On Monday.
“I haven’t signed anything yet, but I think we’re meeting with Toto tomorrow so hopefully we can do something,” Hamilton, whose current contract expires this year, said in a post-race news conference.
Asked to clarify whether the meeting was potentially decisive, he added: “It was not a subtle hint. We have had many meetings — and this is just one of the meetings we are having.
“You could see from my performance today that I wasn’t affected by it, but it’s always in the back of your mind.
“Once that’s done you’re able to focus more and think about the future and I’m working as hard as I can with this team…
“I see a lot of energy in the team. They are still very hungry. Today’s podium was really, really special.
“To be able to see the excitement between all the people who have worked so long…
“When we go back now, there’s going to be a lot of energy in the office. These guys take two seconds to enjoy themselves and be happy — and then they’re going to get back in the books and try to figure out how we can win the next race.”
He added that he hopes not only for the continued development of their car that can help the team compete against Red Bull this year, but more importantly start working now to build a challenger that can succeed in 2024.
“That’s where we have to go,” he said. “Max will win and win again this year, but we have to focus on next year and at least, be able to compete and compete against him.
“Personally, for me, I feel fit and healthy and I think it was a very difficult race for me.
“And I want to keep going as long as I can, but I want to be where Max is — or racing him, at least. I’m super-focused on getting to that point.
“There’s a long way to go, but there’s time…”
Hamilton, who has won seven of his titles with Mercedes since joining them in 2013, was linked with a move to Ferrari last month (May), but both the Italian team and the Briton have distanced themselves from the speculation.
On Sunday, he added: “I’m really happy with where I’m at in my life. I think I’ve got all the ducks in a row where I’m able to really focus.
“I have a great, great, great team around me both off the track and on the track. Great things are happening with Mission 44 — I’ve got a great team in London — and I’m starting to see the impact.
“I’ve got a great team of engineers here. I’ve been with Bono [Mercedes senior race engineer Pete Bonnington] For a long time. And what about Bono and Mike [Elliot, Mercedes chief technical officer] And all the guys here are doing a great job.”
