F1 2020 They say that it only remains to announce it and it would be with a salary
Proast the days and the announcement of the renovation of Lewis Hamilton by Mercedes still not coming. With everything, almost no one doubts the continuity of the current champion in Formula 1. So much so that in Germany they even close the deal between the pilot and his team, even giving details of the future contract.
So does the f1-insider portal, which states that the only thing missing is the official communication. According to this medium, Hamilton would have one season with an option to another. That would be the formula found to satisfy both parties, since the English wanted more campaigns and the Teutons preferred only one.
As for emoluments, the British would also have had to give in. There was talk that Stevenage would have requested 70 million euros a year, but according to the aforementioned media, finally will win 40 million for each course. Currently, Lewis earns 47 million dollars, that is, about 39 ‘kilos’ in euros, being of course, the best paid of the entire grid.
The way to satisfy Hamilton will have come from the fact that it will be the competitor himself who manages two free spaces to put sponsors personal in your jumpsuit and helmet. In this way, you will achieve an ‘over salary’. In times of economic crisis, Daimler lobbied not to raise spending.
The deal will not include the one already known as ‘clusula Verstappen’ for which the octo-champion could veto the partner they wish to impose on him. By 2021 there will be no problem, then continue Valtteri Bottas, something that Lewis likes, but with this, the one from the Islands would have ensured that Max did not arrive at Mercedes in 2022 and could coincide with him in case of executing the option in his contract. The Dutchman is liked by the leadership of the German house, especially Toto Wolff, and has already threatened several times, especially through his father, that he will leave Red Bull if they do not give him a competitive car. All in all, Hamilton’s likely partner in 2022 will be George Russell, so this clause, which has been discussed, will not make sense.
The publication even says that the official announcement should come next week. We will see, although the clues to the resolution are becoming more evident every day.
