Mercedes is positioning to keep world champion Lewis Hamilton well beyond the 2015 season. Talks over the Britons expiring contract were scheduled towards the end and then just after the 2014 season. But in what was interpreted as a hurry up to the 30-year-old, boss Toto Wolff recently declared that Fernando Alonso and Valtteri Bottas are first in line for Hamiltons seat should he leave the Brackley team late this year. Now, Italys La Gazzetta dello Sport claims Mercedes has prepared a three-year renewal (of the deal) for a fixed EUR 20 million per season. The report speculated that the deal to be presented to Hamilton, who is currently not represented by a manager, is for the years 2016, 2017 and 2018. Hamiltons new contract may also include a million euro bonus for each race win, and 5 million for his third world title, La Gazzetta added.
