Hamilton sees the need for talks with Mercedes boss Wolff

After Lewis Hamilton announced his move from Mercedes to Ferrari on February 1, the seven-time Formula 1 world champion is in a state of confusion.

The Brit is currently focusing on his final season with the Silver Arrows, but the time will come when he will have to plan for the next season with Ferrari – and Mercedes will no doubt be doing everything they can to make sure Hamilton doesn’t give anything away. details about the new Financial Arrow for the next one year appear.

That’s why Hamilton is thinking about when he will start talking to Ferrari and how that moment will happen. “I think I’ll start a conversation with Toto (Wolf, head of motorsport at Mercedes, editor’s note) because I don’t know how to navigate,” said the Englishman. “I’ve never been in this position at this time in a year.”

This is not entirely new for the seven-time world champion, but his move from McLaren to Mercedes in the 2012 season was announced much later. So up until this point he was still fully involved with McLaren.

However, the difficult situation has no effect on the current season. Hamilton reiterated that he was concentrating on the Silver Arrows and wanted to end his 49-race winless streak.

“I want to end up here on a high note. So all my energy goes into this. The future is undoubtedly exciting. But now we are going through a difficult phase. That’s my challenge,” said Hamilton about the Mercedes dispute. “All my energy is focused on finding a way to get back to the top.”

He, first of all, is “a competitor who wants to win. Just thinking about next year will not help me do this,” he said.
