British Formula 1 driver and seven-time champion Luis Hamilton could retire, which has been talked about more and more lately, but Mercedes will not allow him to do so without a fight.
Hamilton keeps the leaders of the German team in suspense regarding the extension of cooperation.
The seven-time world champion is dissatisfied with the finish of the previous season and could retire permanently or pause indefinitely.
However, he has a valid contract with Mercedes until 2023, and it is the biggest in the history of this sport.
He earns 48 million euros annually.
If he leaves, Mercedes does not have many options, considering that the best drivers in the championship are already under contract.
Therefore, they would turn to a younger and not-so-well-known driver, while they would file a lawsuit against Hamilton so that they would not be in complete loss.
