24: The Truth About Lewis Hamilton and THAT New Contract
b'
As the latest edition of GP Racing hits the shelves of shops that are now actually open, we look at what\\u2019s really going on with Lewis Hamilton\\u2019s new contract. We speak to George Russell, the man who might become Lewis\\u2019s next team-mate\\u2026 or Valtteri Bottas\\u2019s new team-mate! And we speak to Daniel Ricciardo, the man of the moment at McLaren.

\\nGP Racing editor Ben Anderson and columnist Mark Gallagher join Executive Editor Stuart Codling to debate what happens next with Lewis Hamilton. Both Lewis and Mercedes have claimed that they\\u2019re happy with the present arrangement, which is a one-year extension and a plan to get around the table sooner rather than later. But are they really happy?

\\nWe\\u2019ve also spoken to Daniel Ricciardo for this month\\u2019s issue. The partnership between him and McLaren feels like something that\\u2019s been waiting to happen for some time. He even bought a McLaren road car while he was still driving for Red Bull and he describes his clandestine visit to the McLaren factory in the piece.

\\nThere\\u2019s plenty more in this month\\u2019s GP Racing, including Mark\\u2019s superbly crafted and suitably flat out tribute to Murray Walker. And because there\\u2019s no such thing as too many pictures of old buses being converted as F1 car transporters, there\\u2019s a new multi-part story covering the history of Lotus. We also have some lovely close-up photography of the notorious Brabham \\u2018Fan Car\\u2019. Remember it was never banned!
