Hamilton about contract extension Wolff: "I am proud and grateful"

Contract extension postponed for a long time

The contract extension was postponed for a long time, similarly with Lewis Hamilton's contract, which has still not been confirmed. Prior to the FIA Prize Giving gala, Hamilton stated that talks on his contract have not yet started, but that this is on schedule. He also responded to Wolff's announcement.

"I am enormously proud and grateful that Toto has signed. He is a very important leader in the team, and our success would not have been possible without him."

He continued: "He is a great figurehead, and it is good for the team that he will stay so long. But the arrival of INEOS, who have played a big part in our success this year, is also a bonus. It's great that they will be part of the team, and help the team to become more stable and better."

"We will have to do our very best to raise the bar in this organisation, because we have done very well in recent years. But I think the right people are in the right place. The future of the team looks good," concludes Hamilton.
