We explain why Lewis Hamilton’s 2020 Mercedes Formula 1 deal took so long, and what happens next, in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
The announcement on Monday morning that the contract had been signed posed as many questions as it answered, which Scott Mitchell and Edd Straw attempt to answer as they work through the many implications of the deal.
We pick through what has been said about the deal and, more importantly, what is left unsaid, as well as the change in the ownership of the team that has potentially made this deal more difficult to put together.
There’s also a look at the wider implications of the driver market and why this deal will put a number of drivers on alert for what is sure to be one of F1’s most coveted drives in 2022.
The Race F1 Podcast is released at least once a week and available free to subscribe to from all good podcast suppliers, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
