Reigning Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton has signed a two-year contract extension at Mercedes and will remain with the team until the end of 2020.
The deal is reported to be worth $52 million per year, further enhancing the 33-year-old’s status as Britain’s highest-paid sportsperson.
As far as Hamilton was concerned, the extension had been “a formality” ever since he sat down with Mercedes executive director Toto Wolff “during the winter.”
