Lewis Hamilton has apparently already signed his new contract Zoom

Under the hashtag #Announce and an arrow pointing to a hand that is currently signing something, Mercedes posted an older quote from Hamilton that reads: “I plan to be here next year. I want to next.” Year here. “
The fact that a reputable company like the Mercedes team and a global corporation like Daimler would be carried away into posting such a tweet if an agreement has not yet been reached with one hundred percent certainty is considered to be impossible.
Especially since the advertising campaign for the new S-Class, in which Hamilton and his bulldog Roscoe play the leading roles together with tennis superstar Roger Federer and pop icon Alicia Keys, is currently prominently rolling out on social media and other channels.
There is still no indication of when the official announcement could actually take place. On Friday, however, Hamilton and team boss Toto Wolff will appear together at the FIA press conference on the occasion of the annual award ceremony.
It is quite possible that the cat is already out of the bag when they face media questions for the last time in 2020 at 5:30 p.m. German time. Especially since both had always emphasized that they wanted to have the matter done by Christmas.

In general, Friday in Formula 1 could be one of the most spectacular news days of the dwindling Formula 1 year 2020. In addition to news from Mercedes, the announcement of the agreement between Red Bull and Sergio Perez is expected for 2021.
The FIA press conference with all the world champions of the 2020 motorsport season will begin at 4:30 p.m., followed by the FIA gala and award ceremony. Of course, everything live in the ticker of Motorsport-Total.com and Formel1.de – even before the official stream of the gala, which starts with a delay at 10:00 p.m. German time.
