Toto Wolff is sure Lewis Hamilton will race on with Mercedes.
However, world champion Hamilton spent 2017 to-ing and fro-ing over his potential retirement plans, with his current contract set to expire after 2018.
At the end of 2016, Hamilton’s then teammate Nico Rosberg suddenly quit F1, but team boss Wolff does not think the Briton will now follow suit.
“I don’t think it’s going to happen, but you never know,” he told the Austrian broadcaster ORF.
“We didn’t expect anything like that in 2016, but then came the call from Nico,” Wolff added.
