Lewis Hamilton is suddenly keen on inking a new Mercedes deal before Formula 1’s August break. He said of the 2021 contract talks: “It ruined my whole winter and I’m sure it wasn’t helpful for Toto’s, in terms of being off and relaxed. “Naturally we don’t have to rush anything but I think we have to be sensible and start conversations,” Hamilton added. “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 future,” he said.
