The Hamilton contract rumours continue to swirl. More and more sources are saying a deal is now agreed, and more importantly, the latest rumours say Hamilton WILL have a veto on his teammate, and that veto involves Max Verstappen.
According to insiders, Hamilton now seems likely to sign a one year contract with the option to extend for a further year, with his salary remaining at an estimated 40 million euros per year, as well as having two advertising spaces on his overalls and helmet.
Some insiders are suggesting that this teammate clause is also being called the �Verstappen clause’. It’s no secret that Toto Wolff greatly admires the Dutchman, but many believe Hamilton would not want Max as his teammate, as he poses him too much of a threat. Hamilton’s veto will mean he can keep Verstappen away from the team until he leaves.
Could we be looking at a Verstappen/Bottas or a Verstappen/Russell lineup in 2023? Let us know your thoughts on Formulanerds social media!
