Hamilton close to extension with McLaren

In the fold McLaren since its beginnings in F1 in 2007, Lewis Hamilton is currently negotiating the extension of his contract with the British team. While we could have expected a quick signing, the 2008 world champion is taking his time. McLaren appears to have offered Lewis Hamilton a new five-year contract worth 25 million euros per year, but the Briton wants to negotiate certain points, such as the trophies he now wants to keep.

« We are close to signing and of course we are still discussing, Neal explains to Sky Sports. For obvious reasons, I cannot speculate further at this time. We work hard to find an agreement that satisfies both parties. »
