Hamilton is out of contract at the end of F1 2023, although the sev✤en-time champion has declared his wish to remain w♚ith Mercedes.

Hamilton hasꦫ been at Mercedes since 2013, winning six of his seven world titles with the team.

Despit💙e Mercedes inability to give him a race-winning car since the introduction of the new regulations last year,💃 Hamilton has remained motivated to stay in F1.

Button - who was Hamilton’s teammate for three years at McLaren - sees his future at Mercedes, particularly as the other top teams have t⛄heir line ups sorted.

“Well, he’s loyal, but I also don’t think he’s 🌠got the options that he would want,” Button told Sky Spoܫrts during the Miami Grand Prix weekend.

“I don’t really think he would have the option💦 at Red Bull – I don’t think he would be the right fit alongside Max [Verstappen]. 

“I don’t think he’d be at Ferrari. Aston Martin? Definit🍃ely won’t be going to Aston Martin, they’ve got two seats that are going to be filled there for a little while.”

“I think his future will be at Mercedes but he is also a loyal character and it’s good🌳 to see him going through some tough times with that team.

“I think they will come out the other side together. You know, it’s a rollercoaster𝓡 in F1, especially when you’ve been on top for that l😼ong, there’s going to be a dip. 

“But if you can stay with that team, they will rise to the top again, a🃏nd he’s not going to retire.”
