Lewis Hamilton, the winner of recently concluded Spanish Grand Prix has talked about the reason that ruined his ‘whole winter’ last season. The seven times world champion mentioned that it was the contract dilemma that ruined his winter vacation at the start of this season.

However, Lewis has hinted that he wants to sign a new contract with Mercedes and doens’t want to be in a position where he was in last winter. In an interview after the Spanish Grand Prix was over, Hamilton conveyed, “We never want to be in the position that we were in in January and February. It ruined my whole winter.”
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff was also at the same situation as Lewis. Talking about the context, the 36-year-old driver further asserted “And I am sure it wasn’t helpful for Toto. We couldn’t be off and relax so it felt like we didn’t really have much of a break”
