The further cooperation between record world champion Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes beyond the 2023 Formula 1 World Championship is still in the stars.
“I have nothing to say,” was Hamilton’s answer to a question in the run-up to the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday (8 p.m. / Sky) in Montreal: “We have a good relationship, we’ve had some good conversations lately – that’s it. “
Hamilton, whose current contract expires at the end of the year, has repeatedly emphasized in recent weeks that he wants to stay with Mercedes.
“I’ve been here since 2013, we hit it off straight away,” Hamilton said of his relationship with motorsport boss Toto Wolff: “He never said to me, now you have to change this or that. He’s always accepted me as I am.”
In Canada, Hamilton and his British compatriot George Russell will want to use the boost they got from second and third place at the last race in Barcelona. “Since Spain, everyone has had the feeling that something is going on there,” said the seven-time world champion, who took the last of his 103 Grand Prix victories to date in December 2021 in Saudi Arabia.
