Mercedes boss Toto Wolff doubts Lewis Hamilton will leave Formula One at the end of this season.
Neither the Austrians nor the British have yet signed new treaties, so there is still much debate about their future. And after yesterday’s race on the Imola track Hamilton said he was not sure he would compete in Formula One next year.
“If you decide to withdraw from the F-1, although I don’t think so, and I hope not, there will be real chaos in the driver market. But at that time, it is normal for those emotions to become fashionable. We are all happy, but at the same time tired. I can say the same about myself, “said Wolff.
“It’s important for Lewis and me to be in the mood for next year. But like I said, it’s my team. I’m proud to be one of the owners of this team and I’m not retiring anywhere. Maybe my role will change on the future and Lewis has asked me about it. You can’t be 100% sure of anything. “
“Niki, in his prime, might have woken up to say that racing is no longer a pleasure for him, which is why he is retiring from sports. I think that could happen to any of us. But we want to extend this journey, it’s not over yet. Lewis, the whole team and I know it’s not over yet. “
“As for Mercedes and me, I just need to put the contract and the pen on the table at the right time. My whole focus was on the fight for the championship titles. So there was an inappropriate moment for lawyers and negotiations. I could say so. Lewis himself. Until the title fight is over, we don’t think about other things. When it’s all over, we’ll have months to discuss everything before the season starts. “
