Lewis Hamilton has denied reports about his contract negotiations with Mercedes, saying that he hasn't even begun talking to Toto Wolff about it yet. Hamilton's current deal runs out at the end of the 2020 season.
If Hamilton decidez he wants to stick around in F1 after this season then Mercedes will most likely be his team of choice, and the team would be keen to keep him, considering he has won five of the last six titles with them.
Reports that first surfaced in Italy had been swirling around that the two parties had agreed a new two year deal, but Spanish newspaper Marca claimed the Brit was holding out for more money.
