The six-time champion is in no rush to sign for 2021. Lewis knows he remains the lone life insurance company in the noble company.
And those requirements come at a price. So there will never be a cheap superstar for Mercedes: Corona crisis or not.
Hamilton always complies
Hamilton complies. Fair, uncompromising, smooth on the tires, and driving errors are as rare as touching an opponent. Even Max Verstappen (23) likes to fight the world championship leader at Red Bull Honda: “Lewis always gives you room to survive!”
The Dutchman would be the only driver who could really challenge Hamilton in the same car. None of the others run in the Champions League!
At Hamilton and Mercedes you don’t have to worry mathematically about title concerns in 2020. If Bottas wins the remaining 6 races with the extra point, third place would be enough for Hamilton six times, and he would still be three points ahead.
Champagne can be chilled
With the designers, Red Bull would still be behind Mercedes with four double wins (which is nearly impossible with Albon’s weak spot) if the Silver Arrows hit a double zero four times. So put the champagne chilled for Portimao in Portugal on October 25th.
Signature on Lake Constance?
So Hamilton is ready for the most precious signature in the circus. “We will certainly agree, we get along better and better,” says boss Toto Wolff (48). And at home on Lake Constance they will meet one day, traditionally eat a pizza and let the pens dance under the long contract (“at least 80 pages,” according to Hamilton).
Signature on Lake Constance? Hamilton laughed weeks ago: “If everything is clear, there will be another glass or two of vodka!” The new contract may even be signed in Mama Hamilton’s kitchen. How already? You don’t have to serve browned steaks …
The most successful love marriage since Schumacher and Todt
Wolff and Hamilton: This is the most successful love marriage in the often cold Formula 1. Since the connection between Michael Schumacher and Jean Todt.
Lewis scored 70 wins in 151 races for the factory team, the German had 72 wins in 180 red appearances. And both exceptional talents each won five world titles!
Like Schumi, Hamilton also has its price. Some 20 years ago, hard dollars were perhaps even looser in the pockets of Formula 1.

The superstar has no less than 50 million
Now all that counts is good performance, and Corona has certainly held back many drivers financially. Only Hamilton, Verstappen and perhaps Spanish comeback star Alonso (Renault) can write their wages on the check.
Hamilton will also not drive below $ 50 million in 2021. No additional revenue!
