New details on Lewis Hamilton’s future at Mercedes

Ahead of F1 at Silverstone, Lewis Hamilton is close to a new contract. With Mercedes.

This time it’s not about the money, but about the little, tiny details.

– We want it to be perfect, says Toto Wolff.

There was talk that Ferrari would make him an offer and a deal would be ready after a half-hour coffee break, but it took much longer than that.

However, now it is close, Lewis Hamilton And Mercedes Access to each other and the future Formula 1.

– We want it to be perfect, every detail and sometimes you can have a situation where the surface is completely polished. It’s not purely about money, but about the future and how we make sure it’s good and right for all parties. We are no longer talking about any contracts or money. It’s about other things, the Mercedes team manager tells motorsporttotal.com.

We’ll definitely be talking about Hamilton and his future over the weekend. Neither Hamilton nor Wolff expect the deal to be completed before F1 at Silverstone.

Before F1 at Silverstone

Now it’s time for the race and we’re moving from the sprint weekend to the traditional race weekend. Now we’re back to the format of three practices: qualifying and racing, and on the track where Formula 1’s history began. The first F1 race was held in May 1950 at the old Silverstone air base. It is the home track of most F1 teams.

It’s a classic race weekend, offering the amazing track that is Hamiltonmania, and everything from bright sun to pouring rain can be enjoyed. As the forecast looks now, there is a risk of rain early in the week for most parts of the race weekend. There is a risk of thunderstorms during qualifying on Saturday.

Nowadays, the UK is also the country with the most drivers on the grid, so expect a lot of interest. Even if it gets wet.

Along with the new design, McLaren also has an updated car for Oskar Piastre. Lando Norris He recently used the refurbished car during the Austrian GP.

And expect a big update from Mercedes. Already in Canada, team boss Toto Wolff explained the summer plans:

– We have a big update for Silverstone and then another one before the summer holidays, he said already in Canada.

– In the spring we learned a lot and learned very fast as we changed our design concept. We’ll make big strides in the next four races.

Now it was a step backwards in Austria, but hopes are high for F1 at Silverstone. Two British drivers, a team with factories close to the track and Lewis Hamilton, who has won eight British GPs.

Remember that Red Bull F1 has not won at Silverstone since 2012 when Mark Webber won.
