Lewis Hamilton is on his way to his seventh world title in F1 and with that he will once again match a record set by Michael Schumacher. However, the Briton has still not renewed his expiring contract with Mercedes, so rumors keep coming that he may quit as an F1 driver.
However, his team principal tot Wolff is convinced that Lewis Hamilton will eventually secure a new Mercedes contract for 2021. After his victory at Imola and celebrating Mercedes ‘seventh consecutive manufacturers’ championship, Hamilton caused a stir by saying there is ‘no guarantee’ that he will will remain in Formula 1 after the last race in Abu Dhabi next month.
Hamilton said: “I don’t even know if I’ll be here next year, so at the moment it’s not really a concern for me whether Toto will stay on as team principal.”
Wolff is also thinking about leaving Mercedes
Hamilton was referring to the fact that team boss Toto Wolff told a journalist on TV that he will probably step down as team boss of the German team. While Hamilton has questioned his own contract negotiations, Wolff has said for months that he has been in talks with Daimler about reconsidering his role with the team.
Wolff said about this: “We are all happy but very tired and that includes me. Lewis is tired too. I understand Lewis’ feeling that you are asking yourself the question and that you think about all the other things that matter. But we want to continue this journey. We’re not done yet. “
48-year-old Wolff has tapped into a new Niki Lauda-esque oversight role with a title as CEO or Chairman, while suggesting he is focusing on who will replace him as team principal.
