If Lewis Hamilton leaves Mercedes, the Brackley based team would be confident it is in more than capable hands with George Russell. “I think it is very likely that Lewis will stay with Mercedes,” he told f1-insider.com. “Especially since, according to team boss Toto Wolff, it is only a formality that Hamilton will extend eventually,” Schumacher added. However, 6-time GP winner Schumacher is also not completely ruling out a Ferrari move for Hamilton. “Hamilton also drove for Vasseur’s teams in the junior formulas,” Schumacher added. “But Lewis also has a close, trusting relationship with Toto Wolff so in the end I don’t really believe he will go.”.
