1996 F1 world champion Damon Hill has provided us with yet another Lewis contract update, as he said on Twitter that the latest rumours say Lewis will sign a two year deal, with a veto on his teammate, keeping him at the team until the end of the 2022 season, giving Lewis a chance to try out the new regulations before he decides on his future beyond 2022.
With this veto in place, it increases the chances of Valtteri Bottas staying at the German outfit, as it is likely Lewis sees him as less of a threat than the one George Russell would pose, if he was in the second Mercedes. These are all rumours at the moment, and nothing is confirmed.
