Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton hopes to seal a new contract with Mercedes by this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix.
"It is going back between the lawyers so hopefully it is done before the weekend," Hamilton told Sky Sports News on Tuesday.
"That would be great, but if not in due time."
The 30-year-old Briton signed a three-year deal in late 2012 when he joined Mercedes from McLaren.
Hamilton won his second drivers' title last year and began the 2015 season by winning the Australian Grand Prix on March 15.
