Speculation still there over Mercedes contract renewal. Lewis Hamilton hopes to have a “clear picture” of his future with Mercedes in 2022 by the mid-summer break after feverish speculation over his contract “ruined the winter”. “Contract wise, we’d never want to be in the position that we were in January-February, it ruined my whole winter,” said Hamilton. “I am sure it wasn’t helpful for Toto (Mercedes boss, Toto Wolff) in terms of being able to be off and relaxed. “But it would be great to get something in place before the break and have a clear picture of the future.”
