The seven-time world champion’s future has been an ongoing subp🌜lot to this season ൲given he is out of contract at the end of the year and an extension is yet to be signed. 

The apparent uncertainty has led to reports linking Hamilton with a sensational switch to Ferrari, even though th♚e 38-yeꦰar-old Briton has repeatedly insisted he has no plans to leave Mercedes. 

After leading a double podium for Mercedes in Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix, Hamilton said he🅷 is focused on making sure the team head into 2024 on a par with runaway leaders Red Bull. 

Asked whether his answer m⭕eant he would still be driving for Mercedes next year, Hamilton admitted he will hold talks with Wolff on Monday. 

“Well I haven’t signཧed anything yet,” Hamilton said, laughing. 

“But, we’re meeting with Toto tomorrow sꦕo hopefully we can get something done.” 

Hamilton later attempted to down🍸play the meeting, adding: “I mean, we’ve had so many meetings. So, it’s just another one of the meetings that we’re having.”

And Hamilton insisted spec⛎ulat✃ion over his F1 future has not been distracting for him. 

“I mean, you can see today my results, my performanc🥂e is not affected by tꦅhat,” he said. 

“It’s always something that’s at the back of your mind [though] so on�🎃�ce that’s done then you’re able to focus more and think about the future.

“But as I said, I’m working as hard as I can with this team and I see so much strength within the team, I think they’re still so hungry, and the podium today was really, really speci♛al, I saw them in the distance, at the back [of the crowd] – they’re always at the back! – but to be able to see the excitement in all the people I’ve worked with in such a long time [is special].

“And when we go back right now, it’ll be a great energy within the office. These guys, they’ll take two seconds to enjoy themselves and be happy and then they’ll go back down into the books and trying to figure out how we can win the next raไce. That’s what I lo🔥ve about them.”
