Hamilton to leave Mercedes in 2022? Wolff doesn't think so!

After a long period of silence, Hamilton extended his contract with Mercedes last winter for one year. After the current season, the 36-year-old driver is free to go where he wants and with the 2022 regulations approaching, this would be an excellent opportunity for Hamilton to work somewhere else.

Wolff does not expect that to happen. "I think this will be his last team. There is no better place for him than at Mercedes and our wish is also that he continues with us," Wolff told DPA. If Hamilton stays, Valtteri Bottas must fear for his place with the German formation. George Russell seems to have a good chance of moving on from Williams next season.

"The symbiosis between us is good and we have celebrated so many successes together that from today's perspective everything speaks in favour of continuing to race together," Wolff concluded to the news agency.
