According to report, the Mercedes
Chairman Toto Wolff has dismissed newspaper reports that the world champion
could be offered the amazing sums to commit his future to the F1 team with his
contract up at the end of the year.
But he is also optimistic
Hamilton will agree a new contract with talks continuing before the season
begins with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on March 15.
"I think [with] these
numbers you must question where you get your drugs from,” Wolff told Sky Sports
News.
“I don’t want to even
comment on this nonsense.
"We are in really good
discussions with him, he wants to stay with the team and we want him to stay
and we are in good spirits.
“Contract negotiations are
something which takes time and we are positive so this is pretty normal
business.
"Don’t forget it is
the start of the season and everyone is expecting a contract to be signed soon
and they are putting pressure and for us this has no influence in our
discussions.”
