      The two parties have been in ongoing talks for months.
      But now Hamilton appears to have given the biggest hint yet that he will still be on the grid next season.
      When asked about the constructor’s plans for next year’s car, Hamilton revealed there had been a number of “big meetings” in recent weeks.
      He said: “We’ve just got to continue to work and chip away at it and that’s what we are trying to do.

      “We will have bits [coming to the car] over the [upcoming] races, it could come soon enough, but I’m pushing as hard as I can.
      “I was having big meetings with the team, speaking to the head of aerodynamics, head of vehicle dynamics with what is in mind for next year’s car.”
      Despite Hamilton and Mercedes team Principal Toto Wolff both seemingly being on the same page for the 38-year-old’s new deal, Hamilton has also been heavily linked with a team switch.
      Ferrari had been the main party linked with the Brit, but Red Bull boss Christian Horner has admitted his team have considered making a move for Hamilton in the past.

      He revealed: “Lewis is obviously a great driver. Hopefully he’ll be around for many years to come.
      “There’s been a couple of occasions in history that we’ve had a couple of conversations about the possibility of joining Red Bull, but that’s not been anytime recently.”
      While Hamilton has won six of his seven titles at Mercedes, they are currently nowhere close to the pace of Max Verstappen and Red Bull.
      Hamilton secured a podium finish at the Silverstone Grand Prix but remains in the hunt for his first race win in F1 since 2021.
      Next weekend’s race – the Hungary GP – is another track Hamilton has a particular affinity for, winning eight times around the Hungaroring Circuit.
      And he will need to find his best pace if he is to stand a chance at beating Verstappen and Co who are set to bring upgrades to their car which could reportedly make them up to two-tenths quicker.
      Away from the track Hamilton has been linked with music superstar Shakira.

      Sky Sports’ Formula One commentators joked she was in the “posh seats” and was sure to be “willing on her friend”.
      It was the third time Shakira has watched Hamilton race this season – revving up rumours they are secretly dating.

      Before getting on the Eurostar she posted a selfie in a revealing cut-out top, teasing a “surprise” for her fans.
      And she hit the town again in the UK capital, looking stunning in a see-through bodysuit as she partied into the early hours on the eve of the Silverstone GP.
      Shakira and Lewis have been spotted enjoying a series of cosy outings together in the wake of her messy split from footballer ex Pique.

      Afterwards he was snapped with his arm round her waist as they had cocktails with friends in Barcelona.
      In May, Shakira also watched Hamilton race in Miami – her new home town since moving to the US earlier this year.
      The British speed ace was pictured speaking to her at a restaurant in the city, sparking a frenzy of speculation.
      Days later Lewis picked her up from the back of her £12million beach mansion at the start of a cosy boat trip together.
      According to PEOPLE, the celebrity pair are understood to be keeping things “fun and flirty”.
      Other sources insist the F1 star and the Colombian singer are just “good friends”.
      Shakira’s repeated rendezvous with Lewis also sparked rumours of an awkward “love triangle” with movie star Tom Cruise – who was also pictured with her at the Miami Grand Prix.
      Spanish media reported the Mission Impossible star, 60, was “absolutely mesmerised” by her.
      Tom felt there was “chemistry” between them and sent her flowers after the meeting, an insider told Page Six 
      Shakira reportedly shot down his advances and begged the actor to leave her alone and stop flirting with her.
      And Tom’s ego was said to be have “dented” by his “great friend” Hamilton’s approach.

      However the global Latin pop superstar is reportedly “focused on her family” rather than dating.

      I managed iconic Formula One team my dad founded but I haven’t even been to a Grand Prix since I was forced to sell it

      by

      WILLIAMS rack up their 800th F 1 race today.But the milestone is too “painful” to watch for Claire Williams, daughter of the team’s founder, Sir Frank.
      Claire Williams hasn’t attended a single Grand Prix since selling WilliamsCredit: Getty
      She sold the family business in 2020 to US investment firm Dorilton Capital — and has not been to a race since.
      It ended one of the great Formula One family dynasties after Sir Frank founded the team in 1977 and won nine constructors’ titles and seven drivers’ championships.
      But since selling up, it has been too much for Claire, who ran the team from 2013 to 2020.
      She said: “I don’t watch it any more. It has been a really conscious decision because I’m still recovering from taking a step back. Leaving my team has left an enormous gap. We were reluctant sellers. Life took us down that road where we were forced to sell.

      “I’m getting to that point now where I’m going to start watching again.
      “It is still quite painful and difficult seeing someone else run the team that was once in our family and life.”
      Williams are now under the stewardship of James Vowles, a smart Englishman who was motorsport strategy director at Mercedes-AMG Petronas.
      And there is a real sense the team are making progress on the track, having slumped to the back of the grid.
      Most read in Motorsport
      Claire, 46, revealed Vowles’ appointment as team principal would have received the full backing of her dad, who died in 2021.
      She added: “It is nice that Williams as a name still remains a Formula One. With James now being there, it looks like the team is moving in the right direction.
      “When they told me it was James I was like, ‘My goodness, just genius’. He’s a  brilliant choice.
      “I genuinely believe my dad would have been really happy with that decision as well.”

      Claire got to know Vowles when   he  was   overseeing   George Russell’s three-year loan from Mercedes. And she is delighted to see him doing so well as Lewis Hamilton’s team-mate.
      Claire said: “I’m really proud of George and so happy for him because we did hold him back at Williams and kept him to his contract.
      “My dad taught me, when you go through a struggle, the success when you finally get it, is all the more rewarding.” More

      Lewis Hamilton’s F1 team-mate George Russell claims he knows WHY Verstappen is ‘whinging’ about new 24-race calendar

      by

      GEORGE RUSSELL believes that Max Verstappen is “whinging” about Formula 1’s new 24-race calendar… because he wants more money.The reigning world champion is unhappy with the new, longer schedule – and hinted that it could make him think twice about extending his current deal and staying in the sport.
      George Russell joked about Max Verstappen’s ‘whinging’Credit: Getty
      Verstappen is tied to a £40million a year contract with Red Bull up to 2028, when he will be 31.
      Reacting to the extended schedule, the 25-year-old team-mate of Lewis Hamilton said: “I think it is a bit more logical the way that it is planned at least, I guess that is better for everyone.
      “But more things will have to come together for me to make my mind up over whether I stay longer or not. But I think that these things are definitely not helping for sure.”
      Speaking ahead of this weekend’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Russell wasn’t taking Verstappen’s retirement threat all too seriously.

      He said: “I think he’s whinging because he wants more money!
      “He’s the highest paid on this grid and rightly so for what he’s achieving but even so, I think it’s all a big tactic of his, that threat of retirement.”
      Verstappen has won five consecutive races, with Red Bull having so far swept this season’s calendar.
      Mercedes ace Russell, however, wants him to stick around.

      He added: “I hope he doesn’t (retire), I hope he stays for as long as I stay because I want to fight against the best drivers in the world.
      “I’m head-to-head with Lewis at the moment and I want to be doing that with Max and Charles (Leclerc) etc and I think we’re in a really great place at the moment as a sport.”
      On the extended schedule, Russell likened it to “working overtime”.
      He said: “It is challenging, we can’t just keep adding more commitments, more races, there’s got to be a point where if you are adding something somewhere, something has got to be taken off.
      “Maybe at the moment we’re just adding more races and not having less commitments, so you are just working overtime.”
      This season’s F1 calendar consists of 23 races, compared to 19 as recently as 2015 – while the Covid-modified 2020 campaign had 17.
      Next season’s schedule will see the Chinese GP finally make its return – with F1 stars having last raced in Shanghai back in 2019.

      Russell, pictured next to Lewis Hamilton in 2010, as an aspiring F1 champ
      He moved to Mercedes last season – earning a bumper £5MILLION payday.
      That helps the talented racer continue to fund his enviable lifestyle… even though he’s still some way short of team-mate Hamilton’s mega £40m pay-grade.
      Russell currently rents a flat in an affluent area of London, but he has plans to join many F1 colleagues in millionaires’ playground Monaco.
      Away from the racing circuit, the Norfolk-born star drives a £140,000 car – fittingly a Mercedes AMG GT.

      He also manages to enjoy luxurious breaks away to stunning destinations like St Barts and Santorini, and is joined by glam girlfriend Carmen Montero Mundt.
      Russell already leads a playboy lifestyle, despite his tender years.
      KING’S LYNN TO A KING’S RANSOM
      Rising star Russell was born in King’s Lynn to father Steve and mother Alison.
      Most read in Motorsport
      The youngest of three children, he has a sister, Cara and older brother, Benjy.
      He caught the racing bug when he started go karting at the age of seven alongside Benjy, who was involved in competitive karting.
      But by 18, he moved to Milton Keynes to be closer to British Formula 3 Championship racing team, Hitech.
      In early 2017, he joined Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport as a part of their junior driver programme.
      A year later, Williams announced that Russell had signed a multi-year deal to drive for their team.

      As soon as he was thrust into the spotlight, Russell’s love life was placed under the microscope.
      He met stunning Seychelle de Vries, who was once linked to Max Verstappen, when he raced in Formula 2 in 2017.
      They reportedly dated for three years, before calling it quits.
      Now, Russell is courting the stunning Carmen Montero Mundt.
      Last year, the pair were spotted on holiday in St Barts together kissing on a sunlounger and frolicking in the sea.
      While last August, Russell was spotted enjoying a break in Santorini.
      More recently, they shared some loved up snaps enjoying the country side.

      COMPANY CAR
      Call it fate, but Russell has always had a penchant for Mercedes.
      On top of his current swanky Mercedes AMG GT, he has always favoured the car manufacturer as his ride.
      He’s been spotted with TWO AMG C 63 motors that cost in the region of £80,000.
      Russell proudly displays his cars on social media to nearly four million followers.
      About the AMG GT, that’s capable of reaching 0-60mph in just three seconds, he wrote on Instagram: “Love my little rocket!”

      HE’S A STUDENT OF THE SPORT
      One of Russell’s many heroes is the late, great Niki Lauda.
      In 2017, the up-and-comer got the opportunity to meet his hero in Baku after a race.
      Lauda even took the student to a Black Eyed Peas concert, after meeting him at a hotel.
      Russell became friends with the three-time F1 champ, and would often lean on him for advice.
      During lockdown last year, Russell shared a picture of himself reading Lauda’s autobiography.
      While he was stuck at home when the coronavirus pandemic was at its height, he made sure he continued to workout and stay in shape.
      He also fitted an F1 simulator to polish up on his driving skills in his bedroom.

      HEALTHY LIVING
      Crucial to Russell is his diet plan.
      Regularly, he shares snaps on social media of what he eats – and it’s never unhealthy.
      From poke bowls to fresh salads, the athlete makes sure he’s putting the right food in his body.
      Coupled with going to the gym, it’s what keeps Russell in peak condition and lean for a race car.
      Aside from driving, and working out seven days a week, Russell also likes to play squash and get out on his mountain bike.

      Playing and competing in sport just isn’t enough for Russell.
      When he has some downtime, he’s happy to sit in front of the TV and watch a live event.
      During Euro 2020, he shared an image online cheering on England. The football fan is a devoted Wolves supporter, like his dad.
      While last year, he encouraged his followers to comment who they felt would win the Indy 500, which he was tuned into.
