Lewis Hamilton plans to stay with Mercedes ‘quite a while longer’

Seven-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton said he will be negotiating a new contract with Mercedes in the near future and he plans to remain with the manufacturer that has stuck with him since his start in the sport.

Hamilton’s current deal expires at the end of 2023. The soon-to-be 38-year-old is thinking multiple years ahead.

“Do I imagine myself being here beyond 40? Maybe,” Hamilton told The Race in an interview published Thursday. “But we are going to do another deal. We’re going to sit down and we’re going to discuss it in these next couple of months, I would say.”
