Head of Mercedes Motorsport Toto Wolff has denied claims
that reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton is seeking number 1 status at the
Brackley based outfit.
Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of this weekend’s Bahrain Grand
Prix, Wolff said that Hamilton, whose current contract with Mercedes expires at
the end of the season knows that the team do not operate with a number 1 status
and they get equal treatment.
Hamilton believed that a new contract would be concluded
prior to the Chinese Grand Prix last weekend however that did not happen
leading to media reports that the double world champion was looking for too
much money.
Wolff confirmed that the terms of the contract have been agreed and
that it is now going between the lawyers.
Wolff hopes that the new contract will be completed within
the next few weeks.
