It finally ended speculation and talk about Hamilton’s future, keeping him with Mercede𝕴s for two more years.
Speaking in the FIA press conference at Monz𒅌a, Hamilton revealed the contract was sorted “l🎀ast weekend”.
“Contract wise, we got it finished last weekend,” he said. “I’m not working towards n🍒ext year th꧅inking it’s going to take another four years to get to where we want to be.
“But I’m aware 🍨that it does take time. Of course in my heart I am so hopeful that the decisions we are taking and the direc🐎tion that we’re rowing towards is that that will put us in that target zone to be able to fight the Bulls and be close and be challenging for pole.
“But if it’s not next year, w𓃲e’ll continue to work through it. But in my heart, I truly believe that, if it’s not next year then the year after, that we will be there.”

Hamilton explained what convinced him to stay.
“It’s what you see,” he added. “It’s not necessarily what someone says. It’s the meeting with the engineers, with James Alisson, the whole group at the factory, with the heads of depa🐭rtments, engaging better than ever before about where we are, the mistakes we’ve made, why we made those decisions, why we won’t make them again.
“Having that confidence in each other, that we’re the best at what we do. Given time we’ll g🤪et back to where we need to be.”
