LEWIS HAMILTON has been told he has a job at Mercedes for life. The Mercedes ace, 37, will open talks in the winter to discuss a new deal which will see him remain in F1 after 2023. And Merc boss Toto Wolff says Hamilton is assured of his seat – providing he wants to remain in F1. Wolff said: “It is 100 percent his [Lewis’] seat,” when asked if he was looking at other drivers for beyond 2023. Wolff’s comments come at a time when he has been linked with a potential swoop for current world champion Max Verstappen in the future. “What you see is that beyond a sporting penalty and financial fine, it’s also reputational damage.”.
