The Knight only extended for a year with the Silver Arrows

Mercedes‘s number 44 only signed a one-year extension for this team. While there was significant speculation over the “weird” duration of the contract, Hamilton had a genuine reason behind it.

During the launch, he said, “Firstly, I’m kind of in a fortunate position where I’ve achieved most of the stuff I wanted to achieve up until this point, so there’s no real need necessarily to plan too far ahead in the future. We’re living through an unusual period of time in life and I just wanted one year.

“Then we can talk about if we do more, and keep adding it [by] one if we have to.”

With pre-season testing underway, it won’t be long before we get to see the full action of F1. As Hamilton looks to dominate the track again in 2021, will he be able to keep his cool and stay optimistic for the season ahead?
