Lauda wants to close the deal with Hamilton before Barcelona

Also the fourth appointment of World F1 2015 was archived, with Lewis Hamilton winner for the third time this season, but still hesitant about whether or not to sign that blessed renewal with the Germans.
The contract between the reigning world champion and the three-pointed star team still 'there's nothing to do'. At every tender the leaders reply that we are almost there, but for one reason or another the closing of the agreement is always postponed.

No later than a day ago Toto wolff he wanted to reassure the fans, explaining that the times were extended beyond expected simply to allow the respective lawyers to check the contract in detail. The boss of Silver Arrows he also wanted to distance himself rumors that what slows everything down is a possible counter offer from Maranello or, again, the difficulty of finding a meeting point due to the pharaonic requests from Hamilton – such as wages higher than those of all the drivers put together or the request for number 1 treatment within the team.

However, he thought about putting an end to this endless saga Niki Lauda, assuring: “By May 10th – date of the first European race, scheduled for Barcelona – everything will be sorted out.”
“The problem is not the salary”, insisted the president of Mercedes.

To fuel the chatter about a possible passage of Hamilton from silver cloths to red ones, he also thought about it Bernie Ecclestone, letting it slip before the race Sakhir which the British rider would be a great teammate for Hag in 2016. These words, retracted not even a week later: "I see it as a bit difficult" he declared Mr. E a Speed ​​Week,” since he renewed with Mercedes. Don't you think so?".
Certain. But to date no renewal has yet been made official by the house Stuttgart.

Those who don't seem at all bothered by the "paddock chatter" are Maurice Arrivabene, which in addition to the rediscovered performance of the new SF15-BILLION and the successes of its pilots, he enjoys the rumors that they would like Hamilton behind the wheel of the Red, remembering that “every driver wants to drive one Ferrari".

He might be less appreciative of the recent gossip instead Sebastian Vettel, who would probably much prefer his friend to the 2014 world champion Raikkonen as a teammate.
According to the site f1-insider.com, Hag he would deny the fact that he has any say in who between Whom e Lewis will join him next year.
