Lewis Hamilton says he has not spoken to Mercedes about signing a new contract. Reports in Italy claim talks over a contract extension between Hamilton and Mercedes boss Toto Wolff have stalled. But in a post to Instagram which he later deleted, Hamilton wrote: “Toto and I have not even spoken about contract yet. Hamilton, 35, can match Michael Schumacher’s record of seven titles if he wins the championship again this year. The first pre-season test gets under way in Barcelona five days later before Hamilton opens his title defence in Melbourne on March 15.
