HAMILTON: "I don't know if I'll be here next year!"

Lewis Hamilton said in Imola that he is not sure he will continue racing in Formula 1 next year when the future of Toto Wolff, the head of Mercedes, is being discussed. Does this mean that the Briton may retire after the seventh title?

Toto wolff is yesterday as part of a racing weekend VN Emilija Romanje in Imola, he said he was considering who could take his place on the team if he decides not to lead seven-time world champions next year.

The question of whether this could affect his future is Hamilton replied: "I don't even know if I will be here next year, so I'm not worried about that at the moment.”His contract with Mercedes expires at the end of the year. The six-time world champion said he debated for a long time with Wolff about his and his future. “We have a lot of deep discussions. I’ve been here for a very long time and I definitely understand that he wants to retire a little and spend more time with his family. I don’t know who would replace him, but he’s the real leader. He won’t put up with anyone who won’t be able to do this job. He will find the right people. So we have success, he found the right people and put them in a position to be able to shine as well as possible."

After Toto Wolff mentioned in Imola that he is considering a successor, the question immediately arose as to whether this also affects the future of Lewis Hamilton, who still does not have a contract for the 2021 season.

"He empowered each individual on the team to be the best he could be. So he will find someone who will be able to continue his work. It’s not just one person, the team is not made up of one person. It is a collective of a multitude of people. Toto doesn’t make a race car, it’s a team effort here. But I support him, no matter what he wants to do,He added Hamilton. When asked how realistic it is possibilitythat next year he may not race in Formulas 1, the Briton replied: “We’re in November and it’s really crazy because it’s not that far until Christmas. Of course, I feel great, I feel strong, and I feel like I could go on for months. So I don't know. You mentioned Toto and the expiration date, so I have a lot of things in my head. I would like to be here next year, but there is no guarantee of that. Many things excite me about “living after”. Time will tell. ”

Can we conclude from his statement that he will no longer be here if he is still here next year, that he does not intend to sign a new contract, or that he may be involved in money. Hopefully we’ll find out soon.

Victory Hamilton on the race VN Emilija Romanje helped Mercedes reach a record seventh consecutive design title. In an interview on the podium, Hamilton said: “A tough race because we had to show all our speed. It’s very amazing when I watch my crew, the whole team, when I know all the men and women in the factory in Brackley and Brixworth who are real heroes who gave their best, never gave up and continued to work innovatively. People who observe this from the outside may think we are used to it, but with this team it always feels like the first time, that’s because of the team spirit. So I am eternally grateful to be a part of this. To be part of breaking such a record. No team has done that yet. Seven-time champions - that's something I'm going to tell my grandchildren one day," Ends Hamilton.
