While negotiations were expected to be finalized soon after the Canadian Grand Prix, Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff revealed at the Austrian Grand Prix that some details still need to be ironed out, even though the terms of the deal have been agreed upon.
Wolff clarified that the announcement of Hamilton’s contract extension will not be timed to coincide with his home race at Silverstone this weekend.
Speaking alongside Domenicali after a visit to 10 Downing Street, Wolff praised Hamilton’s importance to the sport and his impact beyond racing, including his advocacy for diversity and sustainability.
