Hamilton enters 2023 in the final year of his contract but before the winter period, there was every expectation that a new deal between him and Mercedes would be announced over the off season.

He knows how annoying we all are asking [about the contract].
“I mean, we’ve got to ask the question. But he’s going to hate answering it over and over and over and over again. It can only be because he’s wondering how competitive they will be.” Hamilton suffered his worst season to date in 2022, ending winless for the first time, and while there are signs the W14 is an improvement over its predecessor, testing would suggest the Silver Arrows remain behind Red Bull and Ferrari.
“Is he going to sign if the car is uncompetitive because he wants it to be quick again before he retires?” Button pondered.
