Mercedes boss Toto Wolff ‘hopes’ Lewis Hamilton will stay at the team beyond this season. Hamilton claimed on Thursday that he had no plans to stop racing, and Wolff, when asked if he thought Hamilton would remain at Mercedes, said: ‘I hope so. ‘He has been a Mercedes driver since his go-karting years and has never raced a single weekend in Formula One without a Mercedes engine, so it is the logical continuation of the story.’. ‘We don’t want to leave it until February again to confirm our two drivers. Valtteri (Bottas) signed last summer, this is when it should happen.
