Lewis Hamilton can be all smiles. Despite losing out to Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg in Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix, the defending champion still holds a comfortable 20-point lead in this year's standings. What's more, Hamilton told reporters in the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya paddock that he will have more news regarding his much-anticipated contract extension with Mercedes in Monaco next week. The Guardian even reports that the Briton's new deal could be worth a whopping £130m over three years. Plenty of reasons to smile indeed.
