And after beating title rival Max Verstappen to claim his third victory from the o🃏pening four races of the 2021 F1 season in Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix, Hamilton revealed he wanted to have a “clear picture of the future” by the summer.
“Naturally we don’t have to rush anything but I think we have to be sen�🏅�sible and start conversations,” Hamilton said.
“They’re very complex, it’s never a super simple pꦛrocedure and so hopefully soon we can start, as long as it doesn’t interfere the actual job.
"We still have 19 races to do but it would be great to get something in place before the break so then we could be in that break and have a ♊clear picture of the fut𒈔ure.”
Both Hamilton 🤡and Mercedes boss Toto Wolff have made it clear they wish to avoid a repeat of the drawn-out saga of last season.
Negotiations hit repeated delays towards tꦕhe back-end of last year and d🌞ragged on until February, a situation that was not helped by Hamilton and Wolff both contracting COVID-19.
“We nev💯er want to be in the position that we were in in January, in February,” the Briton added.
“It ruined my whole winter and I’m sure it wasn’t helpful for Toto’s, in terms of being out to be off and ♕relaxed - so it felt like we didn’t really have much of a break.”
Hamilton, who has been energised by a fierce title battle against Red Bull, currently🌼 holds a 14-point advantage over Verstappen in his quest to claim a record-breaking eighth world championship this year.🔥
“There’s stiౠll some life in this old dog!” Hamilton said. “I would say I’m more conscious than ever about my body, about my training regime.
“I’ve been traiไning myself for a long time now but constantly growing and learning how to look after, naturally, the vessel that I’m given and feeling great.”
