Mercedes had a difficult season in 2022 with Hamilton failing to win a race for the first time in his career. The 38-year-old is in the twilight of his career and could decide to retire at the end of the year if Mercedes cannot compete with Red Bull once again. But Button thinks Hamilton is delaying until he finds out how good his car is. He knows how annoying we all are asking [about the contract]. “Is he going to sign if the car is uncompetitive because he wants it to be quick again before he retires?.
