Mercedes seem confident that Lewis Hamilton will sign a deal beyond 2021 after the team principal, Toto Wolff, said the world champion has been energised by the world title fight with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen this season. Hamilton is now in his 15th season in F1 and his current contract ends this year. Before the Styrian Grand Prix in Austria this weekend, the 36-year-old British driver revealed that positive discussions on a new deal had now begun. “He is very hungry,” Wolff said. “It’s a very new situation for him also in that it’s so tight in the battle with another team and another driver and he is in very good spirits.”
