Hamilton talks to Mercedes about new contract: “I want to keep racing”

Hamilton talks to Mercedes about new contract: “I want to keep racing”

Although Lewis Hamilton does not play a significant role in the fight for the Formula 1 World Championship this season, the 37-year-old is not yet thinking about retiring.

“I want to keep racing. I love what I do. I’ve been doing this for thirty years and I don’t feel like I should stop,” Hamilton told a select group of media outlets. The Brit’s contract with Mercedes runs until 2023.

The seven-time world champion wants to start talks with team boss Toto Wolff in the coming months in order to stay longer with the team he has been loyal to since 2013. Hamilton made his Formula 1 debut with McLaren in 2007.

Five more years

“We will make another deal,” expects Hamilton, who recently indicated to Wolff that he would be able to compete in the premier class of motorsport for at least five more years.

Hamilton has yet to win a single race this season. Last weekend he was in the lead for a long time, but still had to admit his superiority over Max Verstappen after an exciting finale.

Hamilton shares record number of world titles with Michael Schumacher. Last season he appeared on course for his eighth overall victory but was dethroned by Verstappen on the last lap at the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi.
