Lewis Hamilton on the upgrade and whether it affects his new contract

• F1

The season for Lewis Hamilton has been disappointing so far. Expectations were much higher than what is the case now. While the Mercedes team calls for patience and hope a better situation will emerge in the future, they call upon people to be patient as well.

The fans do not know what will happen regarding Lewis Hamilton, considering that the story about the contract is still ongoing and there is no progress. In an interview with the media, the Briton confirmed that the upgrade will have nothing to do with whether he will extend the contract.

There is no doubt about that. Hamilton wants to continue his story at Mercedes. “No, that’s not what I’m thinking. Before the end of the season I think we will already be well into the contract. I still have 100% faith in this team.

It has taken longer for all of us to get to where we want to be."

Lewis Hamilton: It’s definitely not easy

Things cannot be solved overnight. It takes a lot of effort and work to get to the top. Mercedes is used to being at the top, and this situation does not suit them at all.

“It’s definitely not easy but I believe we will get there. We have to continue to chip away at it. That’s why we have the upgrade here. We have a front wing here, and more bits at the following races." Their focus is already on 2024.

For them, this season is already a lost one and they don't seem to be able to do much to salvage it. They hope, therefore, to create a car capable of doing a lot next year. "It couldn’t come soon enough and I’m pushing as hard as I can.

I was having big meetings with people in the team, the head of aero and the head of dynamics, about what’s in mind for next year’s car."
