As he told PA news that a contract confirmation is just around the corner.

“I believe Lewis will be signed within a week. I cannot see it going into February. Where do Mercedes go after Lewis? Of course, they can have the pick of the crop, but that is not the way Toto operates,” Jordan said as per yahoo finance. 

“He has increased his shareholding over the winter, brought in INEOS as a one-third shareholder, and he doesn’t want to be walking up and down the paddock with somebody new that he has to think about.”

Jordan believes Hamilton will join Mercedes just to take his shot at the record-breaking eighth world championship. “He wants to be there with the man of the moment, he wants to be there with the king of all kings in Formula One and that is Lewis Hamilton,” he said. 

Lewis Hamilton has played a pivotal role in Mercedes’ success. He brings a lot to the team and the league through his celebrity persona.
