Lewis Hamilton to land new Mercedes deal to ward off Ferrari interest

Lewis Hamilton is on the verge of signing a new deal with Mercedes, with the Formula One superstar set for an increase on his current  £40million-a-year deal. According to The Sun has claimed that Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has given the green light to a new deal for Hamilton. He said: “As long as we are able to provide the winning car, Lewis has no reason to consider other teams - and we have no reason to look elsewhere. The relationship we’ve built is a very strong factor in keeping the team together and a real asset of the Mercedes Formula One team. What we have said to Lewis is that we would like to finish the season on a high, breathe a moment and then discuss what happens in 2021." Wolff is not concerned about Hamilton's future and expects to be driving for the Silver Arrows for the 2021 season.
