Will Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes’ new contract be announced anytime soon? Mercedes posts a picture of a ballpoint pen: “You never know when you need it.” Hamilton posts: “There is a lot in motion.”
Mercedes-Benz feeds the expectations of Hamilton fans. The Formula 1 world champions have posted a picture of a ballpoint pen with the text: “You never know when you need it.” And Lewis Hamilton suggests when speaking from winter training in Colorado that something could finally be done about the contract: “There’s a lot going on.”
Formula 1 champion Hamilton is currently in Colorado, where he has owned a house for years to prepare for the new season in the snow. He has spoken to his followers on Instagram.
The 95-time GP winner writes: “Hey world, it’s been a while. I’m in the mountains and I train every day, I get my head and body in shape. I hike with cross-country slats every day, one of the three mountains here is really a killer, 3400 meters high. I love altitude training, it is much more exhausting to work than at sea level. You can feel just walking up a flight of stairs at 2000 meters. “
“When I come back to sea level, I feel as light as a feather when I run. I try to find the right balance between strength and endurance training. “
“There is also a lot going on in the background. There’s a lot going on there, but basically I just wanted to let you know that I’m fine, I’m healthy and mentally strong in my bladder. “
«I hope you stay positive about everything that is going on around us. Heads up! I can’t wait to see you guys again soon. I send love and light #teamlh. “
Why is the new contract taking so long? British media speculate that Hamilton has asked for a salary of $ 50 million a year. This claim has been circulating since May, when Hamilton briefly broke the collar. “The media are constantly writing about my contract and the alleged demands,” said Hamilton in the spring. “I haven’t even spoken to Toto Wolff yet. So please stop making up crap. “
The second point: the duration of the contract. Lewis Hamilton said at the end of October: “We normally plan for three years. One thing is certain – I do not see my work here as finished. “
The third point of negotiation: the role of Lewis Hamilton after the end of his racing career. He has repeatedly said that he sees himself as a brand ambassador in the medium term. Part of the talks could also be how the charitable goals of Hamilton can be reconciled with Mercedes.
Although Lewis Hamilton is currently without a contract for 2021, he has been registered by Mercedes with the FIA, the world’s auto sport association, as a driver for the coming season in Paris. Valtteri Bottas signed a new one-year contract in August 2020.
