Ex-Formula One team boss Eddie Jordan is confident Lewis Hamilton will put a pen on his Mercedes contract this week. The seven-time world champion is currently out of contract, as his deal expired in December. The Briton is yet to sign a deal and it was reported that his demands were stood as a stumbling block. Moreover, Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff admitted to arguing with Hamilton on Zoom over the terms of his latest deal. Now, speaking to PA News Agency, Jordan said: "I believe Lewis will be signed within a week. I cannot see it going into February. Where do Mercedes go after Lewis? Of course, they can have the pick of the crop, but that is not the way Toto operates. "He has increased his shareholding over the winter, brought in INEOS as a one-third shareholder, and he doesn't want to be walking up and down the paddock with somebody new that he has to think about. He wants to be there with the man of the moment, he wants to be there with the king of all kings in Formula One and that is Lewis Hamilton." The British driver is currently training in America. He is expected to be back on track on March 28 at Bahrain Grand Prix.
