Hamilton 2021 Contract

[Nitrodaze]

There are plenty of sites discussing the "rumors". Some are now characterizing the discussions as "sources" are saying.

This is how fake news is propagated as fact. Rumour suddenly becomes source. Come dude, you are smarter than that. WTF

When Mercedes is being projected to have reduce their headcounts by 10,000 and facing angry investors, it is not going to go over well if they are paying a record salary to a driver. Regardless who it is.

Reduction in head count is due to the 2022 regulations which separate operational costs from Driver wages. There is no conflict here.

I think Hamilton over values his worth. I think Russell help show that his value is not as high as he thinks - that is why Hamilton came back so quick after covid even though he wasn't fully recovered - he wanted to minimize the loss to his value.

It will be interesting to see who blinks.

The real issue here is whether the Mercedes F1 team can afford Hamilton. If they can't he would walk without regrets. Hamilton's value is not overvalued, it is what it is. If you want the best, then you have to pay for it. That is why some drive Toyota Prius and others drive Porsches. You pay for what you get. You could argue that Porsches are over valued. That is your personal view. Those that buy Porsches think differently. It is simply a matter of perspective. You are obviously a Prius kind of guy.

Besides, Hamilton would ask for what he thinks he is worth. It is up to him to state his worth.
