Lewis Hamilton’s new Mercedes contract - reported salary, bonuses and his one crucial demand revealed
Hamilton, ꦰ38, has one year remaining with Mercedes but is in talks to sign a new deal and extend his F1 career.
According to sports-busines𓄧s source , these are the key numbers behind Hamilton’s new deal:
- Hamilton offered to remain on the same salary of €35m (£31m / $38m) per year.
- But he will be paid a €45m (£40m / $49m) salary per year.
- €25m (£22m / $27m) bonus if he wins the championship.
- Two-year deal (2024 and 2025).
Hamilton has long been at No1 in the list of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 driver salaries, above Red Bull’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen, and this new contract will see that reign 💝continue.
But the crucial demand the driver is making from Mercedes, according to 💫the report, is a commitment to support 🉐Mission 44, his foundation.
Mission 44 already has €8m (£7m / $9m) invested into it each year by Hamilton. That will increase to €15m (£13m / $16m).
A deal until Hamilton is 50?
♐His new two-year contract would end when Hamilton is 40-years-old in early-2025.
There are discussions to keep him on in a special ambassadorial role - and Hamilton wants a 10-year commitment from Merc♈edes, the repor✨t says.
That would reportedly pocket Hamilton €25m (£22m / $27m) from the Daimler Group who owns Mercedes-Benz.
