Wolff suspects that Hamilton will stay: "We are all very tired"

There has been talk in the media for a very long time of a new Hamilton commitment to the current world champion. However, the signatures are still not on paper, but Wolff has already indicated several times that the busy F1 calendar is the cause of this.

After yet another one-two in Italy, the team boss at Mercedes once again makes it clear that he is not worried at all. “I guess if he were to decide to step out of Formula 1, which I don’t think is going to happen and I hope is not going to happen, I think we are going to have a pretty frantic driver market out there," says Wolff according to Racefans.net and others.

The striking statements from Hamilton can be explained, according to the Austrian. "But I think it’s the moment and the emotions, we are all happy but very tired also. It’s the same for me," Wolff himself has still not extended his contract with Mercedes either.

However, the 48-year-old top executive is 100% certain that he will not leave the Mercedes Formula 1 team after 2020, despite having an expiring contract. "But I’ve said this is my team. I am a very proud co-owner with Mercedes and I am not going to go anywhere."

Wolff is going to sign

Wolff wants to break the record of seven world titles by Michael Schumacher with Hamilton. "But we want to continue this journey and we are not finished. Lewis and I and the whole team know that we are not finished," said Wolff, who concluded by saying about his own future: "With me and Mercedes and I it is pretty much clear. It is just down to putting pen on paper at the right moment."
