“Lewis wants five years, and if it were just a one-year exte🃏nsion I don't think he'd accept it,” an insider source is quoted as telling the British newspaper. 

“They may need to reach a compromise because, while George (Russell) has probably made peace with the idea of Lewis being around✤ for a couple of years, he might not accept being in the shadow of his team-mate for the long-ဣterm.

“There is always a lure about Ferrari, but Lewis will probably think that his only hope of winꦑ☂ning his eighth title is by staying where he is.

“Money is not a delaying factor.”
