The question remains if Lewis Hamilton eventually stay at Mercedes. Toto Wolf and Lewis Hamilton both suggests that the Brit continue to stay with the Silver Arrows,  but not everyone agrees. Eddie Jordan sees the six-time world champion leave for another team.

The future of Formula 1 is bright in terms of talent in the sport. With up-and-coming top athletes such as Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen as well as the establishment with Sebastian Vettel and Hamilton, there is plenty to experience. However, it is now a matter of choosing the right seat.

Hamilton in red, right?

The same goes for Hamilton, whose contract is due to expire at the end of 2020. ''It's all about Hamilton, Vettel and Verstappen in the future. I don't know Vettel as well as Hamilton, but in my opinion he has no choice but to stop or leave for McLaren. His chances to stay at Ferrari are over", says Jordan in conversation with F1 insider.com.

If possible Jordan's reason is even more remarkable. ''Lewis will make the step to Ferrari. Only the Italians can pay his salary and they also know that he is worth it. Verstappen will stay with Red Bull Racing, but it will be very difficult for him to beat Hamilton too", concludes the former team boss.
