Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff says there is no rush to finalise Lewis Hamilton’s new contract and it could wait until well into the new year. Hamilton’s deal runs out at the end of 2020 and talks are at an early stage. Wolff said: “We are not worried about eventually getting it done. Wolff said that he and Hamilton had always intended not to start contract negotiations until this year’s championship titles were won. But he said Hamilton contracting coronavirus before the penultimate race of the season had “delayed us a little bit”. Wolff added: “We had such a successful run of championships in the past seven years there is no reason not to continue.
