Former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher has claimed, Lewis Hamilton's contract saga is "embarrassing" for the sports. The seventh-time world champion Hamilton is yet to sign a new deal with the Silver Arrows. "It's a shame and almost a bit embarrassing," he said via Speedweek.com. "It is now February and the most important man in Formula 1, the seven-time world champion, has still not been confirmed as a driver. "I keep hearing that it would be about money, but I hope that is not true. Hamilton, in particular, should know that in this day and age you cannot demand 100 per cent,'' ''Hamilton should also know that Formula 1 is bigger than any individual. Maybe Hamilton needs to shake himself up now too. There is still a risk of Mercedes putting George Russell in that car. Hamilton should never forget that." Mercedes have set a deadline for Lewis Hamilton to sign a new deal. The car manufacturer has announced the launch date for their new car. Mercedes’ Twitter page confirmed that their new F1 W12 car would be unveiled on March 2.
