Mercedes - Hamilton Europe return needed to start new contract talks

Hamilton is set to be out of contract at the end of the upcoming season

Toto Wolff has revealed talks with Lewis Hamilton over a new Mercedes deal have yet to start due to the seven-time F1 champion's winter travels.

Hamilton signed two separate contract extensions with Mercedes in 2021 after the team allowed a previous agreement to expire.

The first was a short-term arrangement covering only that year, whilst the second saw the 38-year-old put pen to paper on a further two-year commitment to the team.

Speaking in October, Hamilton expressed a desire to remain with Mercedes for potentially five more years but since the end of last season he has been globe-trotting, including the likes of Antarctica.

Team principal Wolff has so far been cautious not to set a deadline by which a new deal must be agreed upon.

Providing an update on the situation, Wolff said: "We have a full year to go.

"We have been so aligned. In the last 10 years, our relationship has grown.

"It is just a matter of him being back in Europe, [us] sticking our heads together, wrestling a bit and then leaving the room with white smoke after a few hours."

Mercedes will launch its 2023 car, the W14, at Silverstone on February 15, with Hamilton hoping to return to winning ways after experiencing his first F1 season without a victory last term.
