Daimler the reason that Hamilton has not yet signed a new contract with Mercedes'

It is a certainty that Mercedes wants to continue with Lewis Hamilton. After all, the Brit strings the championships together. According to the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, parent company Daimler on its own was not happy with the Brit's demands.

For the coming season, all but one seat has been forgiven, from a technical point of view. Lewis Hamilton still does not have a contract for next year, despite his seventh world title this year. The Brit has also made no secret of the fact that he would like to continue with the team for a few more years.

Negotiations are only going slow, according to the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport. It is no longer a formal extension, as the various parties seem to disagree with the demands that are being put on the table. "In November, when Formula 1 went to Turkey, a contract was ready that meets Hamilton's requirements: a four-year contract with a salary of 50 million a year. Daimler however put a stop to that," says the newspaper.

Daimler doesn't want to go all-in
Despite Hamilton's strong performance, the parent company of Mercedes doesn't want to bet so much on the British driver. "Daimler wants to go for a two-year contract, with an option for three years". The company may keep an eye on Hamilton's age, which turns 36 in January, or on the progression of the younger and much cheaper George Russell.

As a result, Lewis Hamilton is still without a contract for next season. "It remains to be seen what the results of the talks will be. Now however a third party has a stake in the matter: Ineos. The new deadline for the contract extension is now at the end of February, just before the start of the winter tests in Barcelona," concludes the Italian medium.

Norris is currently in the United Arab Emirates on holiday ahead of a planned training camp, but after recognising some symptoms, underwent a test for COVID-19 on Monday.

McLaren confirmed in a statement that Norris had tested positive, and would now be self-isolating for the next two weeks.

"McLaren can confirm that Lando Norris tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday in Dubai, where he is currently on holiday ahead of a planned training camp," a statement reads.

"After recognising a loss of taste and smell, he was tested immediately and informed the team. In line with local regulations, he is now self-isolating at his hotel for 14 days.

"He is currently feeling well and reports no other symptoms."

Daimler wants a two-1 deal for Lewis? It's got Toto Wolf written all over it. Sir Lewham has 4 more good ones before his waning years kick in. MB should ride the wave and produce a limited edition, numbered AMG LH hypercar for the hyper rich, each individually signed with his DNA in a test tube that resides in the car. Lol.
