Briton Lewis Hamilton will be a Mercedes driver in 2021. The announcement is not official, but Toto Wolff, the boss of the German team, has already given positive news about it.
Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes, it’s not over yet. Questioned by RTL, Toto Wolff, the boss of the German team, did not hide that the discussions were on very good track to extend the Briton, who is seeking to become the only holder of eight world crowns in F1. His contract, officially, has expired.
“I think we are close to making an announcement”, dropped the Austrian. He then poured out the details of the contract. The latter will be short-lived, less than three years. “We see that there is a development coming in the near future, not only with the budget cap, but also with the change of technical regulations, and we will have to keep our eyes peeled. So we are discussing what must be the terms of the agreement in relation to this “, has detailed Toto Wolff on this subject.
Remember that his salary would reach 40 million euros per year, without performance bonuses. In 2022, F1 will take a radical turn with the establishment of a strict budget ceiling, already in force this season, declining over three years. Lewis Hamilton will then no doubt have to make sacrifices.
