‘He’s not got the options he would want’ - Jenson Button on Lewis Hamilton’s future with Mercedes

Hamilton is out of contract at the end of F1 2023, although the seven-time champion h🍌a🍌s declared his wish to remain with Mercedes.
♔Hamilton has been at Mercedes since 2⛎013, winning six of his seven world titles with the team.
Despite Mercedes inability to gi🐈ve him a race-winning car since the introduction of the new regulations last year, Hamilton has remained motivated to stay in F𓃲1.
Button - who was Hamiltoꦺn’s teammate for three years at McLaren - sees his future at Mercedes, particularly as the other top team💃s have their line ups sorted.
“Well, he’s loyal, but I also don’t think he’s got the options that he wou𓄧ld want,” Button told Sky Sports during the Miami Grand Prix weekend.
“I don’t really think he would ha𝓡ve the option at Red Bull – I don’t think he would be the right🧸 fit alongside Max [Verstappen].

“I don’t think he’d be at Ferrari. Aston Martin? Definitely won’t be going to Aston Martin, they’ve got two seats ඣthat are going to be filled there for a little while.”
“I think his future will be at Mercedes but he is also a loyal character and it’s go༺od to see𝔉 him going through some tough times with that team.
“I think they will come out the other side together. You know, it’s a rollercoaster in F1, especially when you’ve been on top for that long, there’s going to be a dip.&nb🎉sp;
“But if you can ♎stay with that team, they will rise to the top again, and he’s not goi♎ng to retire.”
