Lewis Hamilton has indicated he is eager to conclude a new deal that will see him continuing to race on in Formula One. The team principal, Toto Wolff, has suggested he expects Hamilton to sign a two-year contract with Mercedes. Hamilton won from Red Bull’s Max Verstappen at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya after he and Mercedes delivered a masterclass of teamwork. Mercedes pulled off a bold strategic race, opting to pit Hamilton twice, confident their driver could overcome the deficit on track to Verstappen. Hamilton now has seven world championships, six of them with Mercedes, but currently has only a one-year contract with the team.
