None of us know what has been discussed exactly but as the years go by I would imagine that Hamilton is also concerned about his safety, of course the money deal is being banded about and also his concern if tyre warmers are withdrawn..he may be waiting for the coming vote on that as well.
Also he wants more assurance that the '24 Merc chassis will be a closer match for the RB.
