With the season being underway and we are heading to the time where ‘silly season’ normally starts as summer break will be just around the corner before we know it, lets take a look at whose contract will be running out this season.
7 drivers contracts are running out at the end of the new season, do we think all 7 of them will be renewed?
I think one of the biggest contract talks at the moment is Lewis Hamilton, but he himself has said he wants to sign another contract and not just one year, so hopefully in the next few months something will be confirmed with the Mercedes team.
Two of this year’s rookies, are on one year contracts, Logan Sargeant and Nyck de Vries. I think the latter has a lot more to prove especially being under the microscope with Helmut Marko and we know how ruthless they are under the whole Red Bull/ Alpha Tauri umbrella.
I think Yuki Tsunoda has got a lot to prove this season too, there’s talk of him going to Red Bull IF Sergio Perez left next season, so all eyes on him especially as he has a rookie teamate too.
K-Mag and Hulkenberg, I don’t see why they won’t get their contract’s renewed, both drivers pushing to bring the team forward so will be interesting how the Haas’ boys do the rest of the season.
Below is a list of all 20 drivers, and their contract lengths, the longest contract out of all 20 drivers, is Max Verstappen until the 2028 season.
