ABU DHABI. — Lewis Hamilton expects to be at Mercedes for years to come following Sunday’s Formula One title success. Formula 1’s newest double champion sat down with Craig Slater the morning after victory at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix saw him beat teammate Nico Rosberg to the 2014 Drivers’ Championship. And the Briton, who has one year to run on his current deal, revealed talks over a new contract should take place in the coming weeks.

Asked whether he sees himself at Mercedes for the next two or three years Hamilton said: “Without a doubt, and I hope longer. I’ve been a part of Mercedes since I was 13, so it’s a natural progression.

“During the season is not the time to really talk about things, and you start assessing and discussing the future generally in the last year of your contract. “But we’re happy with where we are and what we’ve achieved together. — Sky Sports.
