Lewis Hamilton is close to his seventh world title.
Does he get out of the cockpit forever afterwards?
He made a surprising suggestion.
Formula 1 *
:
Lewis Hamilton
celebrates
his ninth win of the season
in
Imola
.
At the race in Turkey he can make his
seventh world title
clear.
With one
statement he
caused a stir - is his
resignation
approaching
?
Imola - With a bit of luck,
Lewis Hamilton will have clinched
his ninth win of the season and will be
world champion
again in the next race in Turkey
*
will.
It would be his seventh title - as many as
Michael
Schumacher *
.
Does he break up afterwards?
One sentence at the
press conference
made the Formula 1 world prick up its ears.

Surprising statement makes you sit up and take notice
The English media in particular got upset when Hamilton announced: “I don't even know if I'll be here next year.
There is no guarantee for that. ”He was asked about his and
Toto Wolff's
future at
Mercedes *
.
The 35-year-old has still not signed a contract for the next season.
He went one better: “There is a lot in my life after that that interests me,” said the Silver Arrow pilot.
So is Hamilton doing the Rosberg?
Despite the statements,
a
resignation
seems difficult to imagine, as he could become the sole record holder with an eighth world title.
These are restless days for Mercedes, because team boss Toto Wolff could also leave the racing team.
“We're both in a similar situation emotionally.
When the championship is decided, we will make a decision on how to continue, ”said Wolff.

How uncertain the situation actually is is also shown by his comparison with racing legend
Niki Lauda
.
“Niki also woke up one morning in Montreal and thought, 'It's just not fun anymore.'
And that can happen to any of us. ”But he makes it clear:“ We want to continue this journey together.
We are not finished yet".
