Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has revealed that Lewis Hamilton’s new contract with the team is “emotionally done” even if it still remains unsigned.
While appearing on Sky Sports’ television coverage of final practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix, Wolff was asked to provide an update on the negotiations and confirmed that the deal is all but done.Wolff’s statement came just after Hamilton had set the pace in FP3 at the Hungaroring with a lap 0.250s faster than Max Verstappen’s dominant Red Bull.
“We’ve changed quite a bit, but you see the comparison on the medium this morning: the Red Bulls are able to pull out a first lap that’s a second quicker than us and everybody else, but then on the soft the pace isn’t there and with us it was the opposite. “George was saying the car was completely transformed the moment we put it on the soft with the same setup and I think the difference was more than a second. We don’t think you can run it in the race – it’s the current state of affairs – but we’ll see tomorrow. Maybe we need to do something different.
