Toto Wolff has urged there is ‘no reason’ for Lewis Hamilton to leave Mercedes after the end of next season, admitting that the Brit’s contract will be ‘one of the topics’ his team will look into during the winter break. Absolutely, Lewis is part of the team and the team is part of Lewis. Mercedes showed more pace towards the latter stages of last season and carved out their first race win of the season in Interlagos, with Russell topping the podium ahead of Hamilton in second. But if you go out and you put it on pole and win every race you will be world champion.
