Mercedes is in talks with Lewis Hamilton for a new contract to keep him at the team beyond this season.

Auto Racing General

Lewis Hamilton denied talking to Ferrari about a move to the Italian Formula One team and exclaimed that he is close to agreeing a new contract with Mercedes ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix.

The 38-year-old’s current contract with the Mercedes, where he has been since 2013, expires at the end of this season.

A report this week suggested Ferrari have offered the seven-time F1 world champion – who has won six of his titles with Mercedes – a £40m-a-year contract to join the Scuderia from 2024.

Hamilton hoped the talks with Mercedes would be wrapped up "in the coming weeks".
