Lewis Hamilton has openly admitted his current desire to remain in F1 long-term “could change”.
The surprising aspect of the deal was that the contract was only for two more years despite Hamilton’s consistent mantra that he wants to stay in F1 for longer than that.
He reiterated that stance to Sky: “The goal within those two years is 100 per cent to be fighting and win a world championship. We are second in the constructors' championship right now and we want to dethrone those who are at the top. I have 100 per cent faith that we can do that. “In terms of long-term, I'm thinking about my next contract - what that will look like, how long that will be. I plan to be here for a while.”
However, in the same interview Hamilton made an interesting admission that he could have a change of heart in wanting to stick around. Mercedes have struggled since the turn of the new technical regulations in 2022, winning just one race since the start of last year.
