Lewis Hamilton strikes £70m contract

Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton is on course to become one of the world’s richest sportsmen after signing a new five-year contract with McLaren Mercedes yesterday thought to be worth at least £70 million. The deal, which could be considerably more in value when bonuses and other endorsements are added, ties Hamilton to McLaren until the end of the 2012 season but he may stay even longer should he fulfil his early promise.

Hamilton was grinning from ear to ear as he posed for an official photograph to mark the deal with Ron Dennis, the McLaren team principal, and Martin Whitmarsh, the chief executive, at the company headquarters outside Woking in Surrey.
